Activity Overview

The 57th Regiment Memorial (57. Alay Şehitliği) is a significant memorial site on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Türkiye, dedicated to the Ottoman soldiers of the 57th Infantry Regiment who fought during the Gallipoli Campaign of the First World War.

The regiment became renowned for its role during the 25 April 1915 ANZAC landing, when its soldiers were ordered to defend the strategic heights of the Gallipoli Peninsula. Under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Hüseyin Avni Bey, the regiment fought in some of the campaign’s fiercest battles and suffered extremely heavy casualties.

The memorial and cemetery provide a solemn place for remembrance and reflection, surrounded by the historic Gallipoli battlefield. For visitors, the site offers an opportunity to understand the Ottoman perspective of the Gallipoli Campaign and the sacrifice of its soldiers.

The 57th Regiment is remembered in Türkiye as a symbol of courage, duty and sacrifice, and the site is an important stop for those exploring Gallipoli’s military history.
