Monument to the Revolution of the people of Moslavina

The Monument to the Revolution of the people of Moslavina is a concrete structure in Podgarić featuring asymmetrical wings and a metallic central form representing the sun. The entire composition appears geometric and modern, with a burial chamber situated beneath the surface.

The memorial was built in 1967 to honor the people of Moslavina region who participated in the resistance movement during World War II. Sculptor Dušan Džamonja created this abstract form as an expression of remembrance for that struggle.

The monument displays the artistic language of post-war Yugoslavia, with abstract forms that expressed modern ideals of that era. The asymmetrical wings and metallic central structure reflect the sculptural style that was characteristic of memorials from this period.

The memorial is located in open landscape and is accessible from the roadside without requiring special equipment. Visiting is possible at any time of day, though the light at sunrise and sunset casts particularly interesting shadows.

The memorial gained international attention through Belgian photographer Jan Kempenaers and later appeared in music videos, including Alan Walker's song "Darkside". Its striking appearance and dark aesthetic have made it a popular subject for artists and filmmakers from around the world.
