Deniz Şehitleri Anıti

This Monument was built in memory of the sailors who were martyred in the raid carried out by the Russian Navy on Sinop in 1853. After the raid, the naval soldiers who were martyred were buried collectively in this area. Since the area where the graves were located was on the roadside at that time, it was first enclosed with stone walls and railings in 1857 by Kaptan-ı Derya Mehmet Ali Paşa.
