Vraca Memorial Park, Memorial complex in Novo Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The park extends over 78,000 square meters on the slopes of Trebević Mountain, featuring stone walls engraved with names of World War II victims.

The site originated as an Austro-Hungarian fortification in 1898 before becoming an execution location during World War II where 9,091 Sarajevans lost their lives.

The memorial includes a pyramid fountain with an eternal flame and bronze sculptures honoring the resistance fighters, women combatants, and civilian casualties.

The park underwent renovations in 2019, receiving night lighting installations and the restoration of the eternal flame after 27 years of inactivity.

The fortress walls display over 11,000 names of men, women, and children who perished during World War II in the Sarajevo region.
