Despot Stefan Lazarević Memorial, Memorial monument in Crkvine, Serbia.

The memorial is a white marble column with an engraved three-sided cross and calligraphic inscriptions. It stands in the courtyard of Saint Prophet Elijah Church and is protected as a Cultural Monument of Exceptional Importance.

The monument was erected in 1427 to mark where Serbian ruler Despot Stefan Lazarević died. It was built by his companion Đurađ Zubrović to honor his memory.

The inscriptions on the monument speak to Despot Stefan's rule across Serbian, Bosnian, and Hungarian territories. They reflect the reach and influence that medieval Serbian leadership held during this period.

The memorial is located within the church courtyard, making it accessible and easy to visit. Approach the site with respect, as it occupies sacred ground.

The inscriptions were personally composed by Đurađ Zubrović and contain emotional words about his departed lord. This direct voice of a trusted companion gives the stone a distinctly human dimension.
