Gazimestan, Medieval monument near Kosovo Field, Serbia.
The stone tower structure rises 25 meters above a hill, featuring inscriptions from folk poetry about the Battle of Kosovo in 1389.
The monument, designed by architect Aleksandar Deroko, was constructed in 1953 under the direction of the Serbian communist administration.
Each year on June 28, the site hosts commemorations on Vidovdan, marking the anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo with ceremonies near Prince Lazar's image.
Visitors can reach the monument by taking the Pristina-Mitrovica highway, with the site located 5 kilometers northwest of Pristina on a 50-meter hill.
The name Gazimestan combines the Arabic word 'ghazi' meaning hero and the Serbian word 'mesto' meaning place, reflecting the regional linguistic influences.
