From the Belgrade World / Places
Monument to the Unknown Hero
On Mount Avala outside central Belgrade, this granite memorial honors war dead from the Balkan Wars and First World War. The hilltop setting makes it a deliberate excursion.
Ivan Meštrović designed the monument that was erected in 1938 under King Alexander I. Its solemn stone form and sculpted female figures commemorate losses across the former Yugoslav lands. Visit for the memorial's symbolism and the experience of reaching Avala, rather than as a quick add-on to the city center.
What to look for
Granite construction gives the memorial a stark, monumental form.
Sculpted female figures represent regions of the former Yugoslav lands.
The site occupies a prominent hilltop on Avala.
Useful to know
Set aside a separate trip to Avala; it is outside the central sightseeing area.
Check current access conditions before traveling if step-free access is important.
