Necropolis for the victims of Fascism, War memorial cemetery in Novi Travnik, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The necropolis consists of twelve megalithic structures made from Bihacite stone, connected by a network of paths and stone steps on Čamića Brdo hill.
The memorial, inaugurated in 1975, commemorates approximately 700 civilians from Central Bosnia who were executed at this location during World War II in 1941.
The stone monuments create abstract forms interpreted as dragon sentinels, paired snakes, or soldier heads, reflecting the architectural vision of Bogdan Bogdanović.
The site extends across 200 square meters of hilltop terrain, with annual commemorative ceremonies taking place on May 9 through wreath-laying ceremonies.
The memorial stones show bullet impacts from the 1992-95 conflict, while text referring to specific military forces has been deliberately removed from the entrance stone.
