What is a "cenotaph"?
A cenotaph is a monument built to honor and remember people who have died, especially those who are buried elsewhere. It is typically a structure without a tomb, used to recognize those who have lost their lives in wars, disasters, or other significant events. Cenotaphs can be found in public places, such as parks or town squares, and often feature inscriptions or statues to pay tribute to the deceased. They serve as a place for reflection, remembrance, and respect for the individuals or groups they honor.
