This memorial at Akershus Fortress in Oslo honours members of the Norwegian resistance and others executed by German occupying forces during the Second World War. Located near the spot where prisoners were shot, it marks a place of solemn national remembrance. The site connects to the fortress grounds, where the resistance museum also stands. Overlooking the harbour, the memorial forms part of a wider commemorative landscape recalling the occupation and the struggle for liberation.
