Batina Monument
Spomenik pobjede, Batina
A World War II monument on a hill above the Danube, with a 27-meter Goddess of Victory statue and a view over the river and the Serbian plain.
The Batina Monument was designed by sculptor Antun Augustinčić and built in 1947 to commemorate the Battle of Batina in 1944, when Soviet and Yugoslav forces crossed the Danube here. The towering Goddess of Victory statue and its relief sculptures stand on a hill on the Danube's right bank. The open view takes in the great bend of the Danube and the Serbian plain on the opposite bank, making it Baranja's best viewpoint. Admission is free. It is about 45 km from Osijek, and the village of Batina below has fish stew restaurants.
