Monument to the War of Independence in Haljala
Haljala's War of Independence memorial in the parish cemetery was unveiled on 7 September 1930. It was one of the few such monuments that the Soviet regime did not manage to destroy in 1940–1941. In autumn 1945, however, it was blown up and the pieces were buried on the spot, while the base survived intact. On 24 February 1989, Independence Day, an exact copy of the old monument was unveiled, standing on the original base.

Haljala kalmistul asuv Vabadussõja mälestussammas avati 7. septembril 1930. See oli üks väheseid selliseid sambaid, mida nõukogude võim aastatel 1940–1941 hävitada ei jõudnud. 1945. aasta sügisel sammas siiski õhiti ja tükid maeti sinnasamasse maa sisse, kuid alus jäi terveks. 24. veebruaril 1989, iseseisvuspäeval, avati vana samba täpne koopia, mis seisab algsel alusel.
