Monument aux guerriers serbes 1912-1918 à Cerje

The Serbian Warriors Monument stands on a rock overlooking the right bank of the Ibar River and features a concrete statue of a soldier holding a rifle. The figure is positioned at this elevated location to command views across the river valley below.

The monument was built in 1930 by engineers Vlada Starcic and Aleksandar Ackovic to honor soldiers who died in the Balkan Wars and World War I. The structure sustained damage during World War II and underwent restoration afterward.

The memorial bears an inscription honoring soldiers from the Ibar region who gave their lives for their king and country between 1912 and 1918. Their sacrifice is remembered through this stone figure that stands as a tribute to those lost during these turbulent years.

The monument is accessible from the nearby road and visible from various viewpoints in the area. Visitors should expect uneven rock surfaces and potentially damp conditions along the riverside location.

A protected black pine tree grows beside the monument and creates a natural pairing with the concrete statue. Together the tree and figure speak to endurance and remembrance at this riverside location.
