In the square of Alytus Park, there is a memorial commemorating the suffering of the nation, the “Quiet Bell”. It seems to have gathered in one place the symbols of the nation’s resistance struggles scattered throughout the city. The memorial is intended to honor political prisoners and exiles, partisans of Dainava County, and the Lithuanian Army rebels of June 22-28, 1941. The bell is a universal and understandable symbol for people, as if echoing the entire history of Lithuania. In this case, the “Quiet Bell” symbolizes even more – two poles. Once upon a time, it was a prophet, a herald, a witness to the nation’s past, a herald of the struggle for the freedom of the Lithuanian people, and a quiet bell is like a symbol of stability, eternal memory, a place of concentration and reflection, inviting people to open a new – brighter and more hopeful – page in the life of the city and the country. On the outside of the bell there is an inscription "Through sacrifices and dedication, we have won freedom, having stood guard for centuries", inside the bell (located in a granite cube, which symbolizes the foundation of the nation) there are Vyčiai attached on two sides, and on the top of the cube are the words "Ring for eternity to the children of Lithuania - those who do not defend freedom are not worthy of it". The authors of the memorial are sculptor Stasys Žirgulis and architect Leonas Adomkus.
