Gazimestan, Memorial complex in Obiliq, Kosovo

Gazimestan is a stone tower rising about 25 meters above a hilltop near the site of the 1389 battle on Kosovo Field. The structure features carved verses from folk poetry that recall events from that time.

The memorial tower was designed by Aleksandar Deroko and built in 1953 on the order of the Serbian communist government. It replaced an earlier obelisk with a cross, erected in 1924 and destroyed during World War II. In 1989, Slobodan Milošević delivered his Gazimestan speech here on the battle's 600th anniversary. The site was declared a cultural heritage of Serbia in 1997.

The name Gazimestan combines the Arabic ghazi, meaning holy warrior, with the Serbian mesto, place. On Vidovdan, 28 June, Serbs gather at the monument for a memorial service; in 2012 about 10,000 attended and Patriarch Irinej gave the address. A white marble pillar nearby carries Despot Stefan Lazarević's inscription.

The memorial stands on a 50-metre hill reached from the Pristina–Mitrovica highway, about 5 km northwest of Pristina. A high fence surrounds the tower, which is under constant police guard. The 25-metre tower has an internal staircase and a top platform overlooking the Kosovo Field; the staircase was reportedly damaged by an explosive after the Kosovo War.

The white marble pillar beside the tower carries a poem attributed to Despot Stefan Lazarević, Lazar's son, praising the prince's courage; its opening line addresses "Man who enters Serbian land". The original pillar was set up after the Battle of Ankara in 1402.
