National Heroes Acre
National Heroes Acre (107 Rotten Row, Warren Park, Harare) — on a hill overlooking Harare is the obelisk of Heroes’ Acre. The Government of Zimbabwe started work on the Heroes Acre in September 12 1981, one year after Independence in Zimbabwe. The work was undertaken by the Government (and designed with the assistance of North Korea) to commemorate those who fell in the struggle for national liberation, and the contemporary and future sons and daughters of Zimbabwe whose dedication and commitment to the nation justify their burial at this sacred spot. At this location, there’s also a museum dedicated to the independence struggle (admission: US$10; Hours: 8 am – 4:30 pm daily).
