Bubanj Memorial Park
Спомен-парк Бубањ
A memorial park on the World War II execution site. Three giant clenched-fist sculptures symbolize resistance, and the park is one of the masterpieces of Yugoslav memorial art.
Bubanj Hill is where more than ten thousand prisoners were killed during World War II. The memorial, completed in 1963, consists of three concrete fists of different heights, symbolizing resistance by men, women and children. It is one of Yugoslavia's famous 'Spomenik' monuments. Pine-forested park grounds surround it, good for walking, and admission is free. It is about 4 km from the city center and can be reached by taxi. It is often visited together with the Red Cross Concentration Camp.
