The statue represents the country as a mother guarding over the eternal slumber of those who gave their lives for her. There are up to 28,000 graves of Albanian partisans in the cemetery, all of whom perished during World War II. The massive statue holds a wreath of laurels and a star. The cemetery was also the resting place of former leader Enver Hoxha, who was subsequently disinterred and given a more humble grave in another public cemetery.

The statue is made of concrete and it is a work of the sculptors Kristaq Rama, Muntaz Dhrami and Shaban Hadërri. It stands atop a 3-metre pedestal; engraved on the pedestal are the words "Lavdi e përjetshme dëshmorëve të atdheut" ("Eternal glory to the martyrs of the fatherland").

[de] Mutter Albanien

Mutter Albanien (albanisch Nëna Shqipëri [.mw-parser-output .IPA a{text-decoration:none}nəna ʃcipəɾi]) ist eine Nationale Personifikation Albaniens in Form einer Frauenfigur, die das Land Albanien (albanisch Shqipëria, fem.) versinnbildlicht. Die Allegorie fand vor allem während der kommunistischen Herrschaft Verwendung,[1] so in einem Gedicht von Dritëro Agolli.[2] Die Figur ist aber älteren Ursprungs: Bereits Pashko Vasa und andere frühere Nationalisten verwendeten zur Nationsbildung den Begriff der Mutter Albanien, die allen Albanern unabhängig von ihrer Religion eine Heimat gibt.[3][2]
