dc.description.abstractThe present paper discusses the symbolic representation of historical monument called "Martyr’s Memorial", and originally known as "MaqamEchahid", that had been built in Algiers at "Riad el Fateh", to commemorate the martyrs killed during the Algerian War of Independence. "Maqam Echahid" had been designed by the Algerian painter “BachirYelles” and the Polish sculptor “Marian Adam Konieczny”(1930-2017). On July 5th, 1982, Algerian president "ChadliBendjedid" had inaugurated Martyr’s Memorial to celebrate the (20th) anniversary of Algeria’s Independence and Youth Day. Actually, this monument is the first destination of foreign heads of state and diplomats during their official visits to the country. It is also the worldly representative image of Algeria used in the media, by journalists, film actors, and tourists. Nowadays, Maqam Echahid, including both the military and soldiers El Moudjaheed museums, is open to the general public to discover the historical and cultural backgrounds of the Algerian society. The study, also, aims to reveal the way the Algerian people preserve and highlight their national identity by constructing the Martyr’s Memorial being a historical monument and a universal emblem of Algeria. In fact, referring to the semiotic approach, our study identifies the commemorative functions of this national monument and its role in addressing the political engagement according to the country’s relationship with the foreign countries
