Newborn Monument
Monumenti Newborn
A giant letter sculpture unveiled on the day Kosovo declared independence in 2008; repainted every year, it is Pristina's top photo spot.
The Monumenti Newborn was designed by Fisnik Ismaili and unveiled on 17 February 2008, the day Kosovo declared independence. On the day of its unveiling, citizens signed their names on the letters. Since then it has been repainted each year around Independence Day, with themes including peace and international recognition. It stands in the square in front of the Palace of Youth and Sports, next to the Mother of Heroes monument, a five-minute walk from Mother Teresa Boulevard. It is open all day and free to visit, and it is less crowded in the evening, which is ideal for photos.
