Garavice Memorial Park is a National Monument dedicated to victims of WWII terror. Designed by renowned architect Bogdan Bogdanović, it is a place of profound silence and artistic power.

Architecture of Meaning

Built in 1981, the park features 15 massive stone sculptures (megaliths) that seem to grow organically from the landscape. Bogdanović used the hill and the sky as key elements, creating a space for contemplation rather than just sorrow.

A Message Beyond Time

Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a powerful anti-fascist inscription: "Life is stronger than death, Justice is stronger than crime, Love is stronger than hate." It is a moving stop for anyone interested in history and monumental brutalist art.
