Ovčara camp, World War II memorial site near Vukovar, Croatia.

The Ovčara camp consists of former storage hangars transformed into a prison facility during the Croatian War of Independence in 1991.

Serbian forces held between 3,000 and 4,000 prisoners at Ovčara camp, where 263 individuals from Vukovar Hospital were executed in November 1991.

The Memorial Centre features personal belongings of victims displayed in glass cases and commemorative installations that document the events of 1991.

The memorial site opens daily and requires a small entrance fee of 5 HRK, with guided tours available through the exhibition spaces.

Forensic investigations conducted in 1996 uncovered a mass grave containing remains of victims, leading to prosecutions at the International Criminal Tribunal.
