Memorial to the Heavenly Hundred Heroes

Remembering a piece of history on the hillside path

Guess Line Architects

A neglected plot of land in the historic district of Lviv, Ukraine, has been transformed into a memorial to honor fallen heroes. The Memorial to the Heavenly Hundred Heroes is not a conventional monument but a vibrant public space where children play, people gather, and memories live on. This memorial commemorates the lives lost during Euromaidan from 2013 to 2015—a movement where protestors advocating for integration with the European Union resisted the pro-Russian policies of Ukraine’s leadership at the time. It is the first and only memorial in Ukraine dedicated to the events of Euromaidan.

The winding pathways of the memorial complex evoke the barricades from the protests. Its structure harmonizes with the existing terrain, which features a height difference of over 10 meters. The design divides the space into levels to integrate seamlessly into the environment. Meandering paths traverse the slopes, descending into stairways at the base of the hill or extending into cantilevered platforms—one of which juts out a striking 6 meters. While open and inviting, the most poignant section is the memorial zone, where 107 portraits of the fallen heroes are engraved. Instead of simply listing their names, the portraits are crafted in a unified graphic style and include their names, birthdates, and dates of death. Small holes are incorporated into the design for placing flowers.

From the observation decks, people can enjoy panoramic views of Lviv‘s historic skyline, with its elegant church roofs forming a picturesque backdrop. These decks provide a tranquil space to appreciate the cityscape. Concrete walls form the base of the entire area, partially covered with Corten steel panels. The horizontal lighting system along the pathways symbolizes the flames and burning barricades of the revolution. The red light across the hill is also a visual representation of the historical scars. The new space was planned to avoid disturbing the existing plantings as much as possible. The landscape design includes ornamental grains that resemble wheat stalks, a symbol deeply rooted in Ukrainian identity.

The Memorial to the Heavenly Hundred Heroes redefines traditional monuments, shifting from static displays to dynamic, inclusive public spaces. It draws people and gently guides them to reflect on a chapter of history. Open to all, it sings of peace and freedom for everyone who visits.
