Partisan Memorial Cemetery
Partizansko groblje
A 1965 Yugoslav memorial designed by architect Bogdan Bogdanović. Stone steps, flowing water and gravestones form a surreal landscape.
The Partisan Memorial Cemetery commemorates the Mostar partisans who died in World War II. It was designed by the renowned Yugoslav architect Bogdan Bogdanović and completed in 1965. The site is laid out up the hillside in terraced steps, stone walls and circular motifs symbolizing the cosmos, and its headstones resemble flowers. It is a leading example of Yugoslav memorial architecture (spomenik) and a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was neglected for a long time after the war and suffered some damage and graffiti, but it has undergone restoration in recent years. Entry is free. It lies in the west of the city, about a 20-minute walk from the old town.
