Oltar domovine, Medvedgrad, Memorial monument at Medvedgrad fortress, Croatia
The Altar of the Homeland monument features stone blocks of varying heights and six blue glass panels arranged in the shape of Croatia's coat of arms.
The monument was inaugurated on May 30, 1994, during Croatian Statehood Day, with President Franjo Tuđman leading the opening ceremony at Medvedgrad fortress.
Stone blocks display Croatian motifs from Prince Branimir's era and national anthem verses, while an eternal flame burns to honor war casualties.
The monument stands before the southern rampart of Medvedgrad fortress, requiring visitors to climb the mountain path for approximately 40 minutes from Zagreb.
President Tuđman's final public appearance occurred at this monument on November 1, 1999, shortly before his death in December of that year.
