The memorial is dedicated to all local volunteers during the Balkan Wars. It is reminiscent of a theatrical stage, both due to the arrangement of the surrounding commemoration and the natural environment. Michail Stivaros’ (Μιχαήλ Στιβαρός) bust is the visual point of reference. It’s situated on a low platform and is flanked by a geometric construction and panels that present information on his activity during the Balkan Wars. 

The memorial was commissioned by Athanasios Ktoridis Foundation and the unveiling took place during 2011.
