Tito’s Cave

Tito's Cave is a limestone cave beneath a ridge near Drvar with multiple chambers that functioned as a military command center during World War II. The spaces still contain original furniture and equipment arrangements from that period.

The cave served as a shelter for Partisan leadership and became the target of a German airborne operation in May 1944, though Tito managed to escape. This event became pivotal in the country's liberation struggle.

The cave displays items and photographs showing how the Partisan resistance movement operated and lived during the war years. Visitors can see personal objects and records that reveal the daily reality of those who used this space as their base.

Access begins from a museum at the base of the hill, which requires climbing stone steps to reach the site. Guided tours are available in several languages and include a walk through the chambers and displays.

The cave contains an operational table with maps and planning materials showing how military strategy was conducted at that time. The furnishings were deliberately preserved to give visitors an authentic sense of life and work in this underground shelter.
