Vukovar Memorial Cemetery
Memorijalno groblje žrtava iz Domovinskog rata
Croatia's largest war memorial cemetery, with 938 white crosses in neat rows and an eternal flame honouring the victims of 1991.
The memorial cemetery holds the victims of the 1991 Battle of Vukovar. On the lawn, 938 white crosses stand for victims exhumed from mass graves, and at the centre are an eternal flame and a monument, creating a solemn scene. Every year on 18 November, Vukovar Memorial Day, tens of thousands of people from across the country walk from the city to pay their respects here. Admission is free; please observe silence. It is about 3 km from the water tower and can be visited together with the Ovčara Memorial Centre.
