The monument was built in 1973 within 3 months under the supervision of the project’s architect Yılmaz Soylu. It was financed by the Turkish Hard Coal Institution in memory of the 50th anniversary of the Republic. The idea of the monument is formed by the three martyrs who own Zonguldak (the martyred soldier, the martyred miner, and the first victim of the mines and legendary martyr Uzun Mehmet). Uzun Mehmet Anıtı was positioned on the Balkaya ridge so that it could be seen from everywhere in what was then Zonguldak city center, despite transportation difficulties..
