Country:

Region:

Visit duration:
20 min
Description:
The entire area of the former Yugoslavia is full of incredible monuments built in the aftermath of World War II, impressive structures paying homage to the men and women who gave their lives for the Yugoslav cause during that most miserable of conflicts. Serbia has its fair share of these, and the five finger memorial at Kosmaj could be the finest. There is plenty of symbolism at play here, but the intangible sadness of sacrifice is difficult to avoid. If the Skull Tower in Niš represents the centuries of occupation, Kosmaj honours the same threat in the 20th century.
