Споменик Партизану-борцу

Споменик Партизану-борцу, War memorial on Gorica hill, Podgorica, Montenegro

Description

The Partisan Fighter Monument sits on Gorica hill in Podgorica and comprises white granite and marble structures with an underground crypt. The complex features a staircase descending into the memorial chamber, stone columns, and an entrance portal marking the passage to the burial vault.

History

The memorial opened on 13 July 1957, marking Montenegro's Uprising Day during World War II. The dedication brought together state officials and local residents as a significant post-war commemoration event.

Culture

The crypt walls display inscriptions with the names of 97 fallen fighters and Yugoslav National Heroes from World War II. These name inscriptions transform the memorial into a personal connection with those who died during wartime.

Practical

The site sits on an elevated hilltop accessible by walking up the staircase from the base. Expect that official ceremonies may take place during national holidays, and visitor access might be limited during these times.

Did you know?

Two large stone soldier sculptures stand at the crypt entrance, created by architect Vojislav Djokic and sculptor Drago Djurovic. These figures represent a distinctive style of Yugoslav post-war memorial art.
