On the south side of the road.

Monument

A 73-meter (240 ft) gray obelisk monument encircled by a black granite wall known as the "Wall of Heroes," engraved with the names of American soldiers who died in captivity at this site. The wall also displays statistics on the total number of prisoners and deaths, along with peace-themed poems across three large segments that almost surround the obelisk. The monument itself is divided into three sections, representing the Filipino, American, and Japanese people, symbolizing a collective aspiration for world peace. Dedicated to the American soldiers who perished at Camp O'Donnell following the Bataan Death March, the monument and memorial wall were unveiled on April 9, 2003.
