Victory Square (Nasser City)

Victory Square (Arabic: ساحة الانتصار sāḥat al-intiṣār) is a large square in the central government district of Nasser City, in the borough of Markez Asimeh. Several important government institutions and ministry headquarters are located near or on the square, most notably the North Parliament Building and South Parliament Building, the respective meeting places of the two chambers of the Arab Congress, as well as the Arab National Museum, the Arab Union Central Bank, and the Ministry of Finance headquarters. The centre of Victory Square contains a large monument which honours the Union Defence Forces (UDF), the armed forces of the Arab Union; the base of the monument contains an engraved list of the names of every single UDF service member who has been killed in action since the founding of the Arab Union in 1958. The monument sits in the middle of Victory Square; the rest of the square is mostly grass field including some trees, although three wide clay walkways lead to the monument from three directions, connecting to the roundabout surrounding Victory Square.
