Monument to the Negev Brigade

On one of the weekends we made a trip to the Beer Sheva area to see the Monument to the Negev Brigade created by a famous Israeli architect Dani Karavan. Beer Sheva is the capital of architectural style called brutalism and this monument is a great example of the style.
Eighteen separate concrete elements symbolize Palmach Negev Brigade that fought in the Israeli war for independence. The monument is rather neglected and doesn't have any tourist facilities like bathrooms, water or security guards, however it is still a beautiful and meaningful place to visit. There are two audio stations with info in Hebrew a English. Kids enjoy running around, hiding, climbing the pieces, playing with acoustics and you can take a lot of artistic family photographs.
