Památník oběšených na Terazijích, War memorial at Terazije Square, Belgrade, Serbia
Pamätnik oběšených na Terazijích is a memorial on Terazije Square consisting of a four-meter-high black obelisk. The structure displays relief sculptures and is accompanied by informational plaques in several languages that provide context for visitors.
The memorial was created to honor five resistance fighters who were hanged on April 17, 1941, following the occupation of Yugoslavia. Sculptor Nikola Jankovic created the work as an enduring reminder of this tragic moment.
The memorial marks a moment of resistance in the city and draws visitors who want to engage with this period of the past. It stands in a busy square where people regularly pass by and pause to remember.
The memorial sits on a large public square and is freely accessible to visitors throughout the year. The location is easy to find and offers sufficient space to view the structure from different angles.
An original bronze plaque that was part of the memorial structure was stolen and has never been replaced. This loss remains visible today and serves as a reminder of the challenges public monuments face.
