National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial
Washington DC, USA


The National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial is a solemn tribute to the 184 lives lost during the 2001 terrorist attack on the Pentagon. Opened in 2008, the memorial features 184 illuminated benches, each representing a victim, arranged by birth year to create a sense of connection through time, while landscape design emphasizes serenity.
Visit in the early morning or late afternoon for a quieter experience and optimal lighting for photographs. The memorial is located just outside the Pentagon, making it accessible before or after exploring the nearby Arlington National Cemetery. It's a space for reflection more than spectacle.
