Monuments to the dead

Origin and history

The monument to the dead of Sainte-Marie, located in Martinique, is an architectural tribute to the soldiers of the commune who disappeared during the wars of the twentieth century. It consists of a bahut wall engraved with the names of the victims, a central statue and a fence bounded by steps. These elements, protected by a registration order in 2015, form a coherent set typical of the memorials of that time.

The location of the monument, at 5184 Amédée Knight Street, is documented with an accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10). Owned by the commune of Sainte-Marie, whose code Insee 97228 administratively links the building to the agglomeration of Fort-de-France, it embodies local collective memory. No information is available on its current accessibility (visits, events) or its contemporary use.

Ranked as a historic monument, this site reflects the post-First World War national commemoration effort, adapted to the Martinican context. The source data (Monumentum, Merimée database) highlight its status as a non-cadastre public domain, without specifying the specific conflicts honored.
