"Beli Majdan" (which means "White Quarry"), also known as the Rakovac Cave, is a stone quarry where granite stone was likely dug, probably since the Middle Ages, and used as building blocks for the nearby Rakovac Monastery, houses in the Rakovac village, as well as for tombstones at the local graveyard. By digging out granite blocks, a unique cave complex was formed, with 4-meter-high galleries supported by stone pillars. During World War II, the "Beli Majdan" cave was used as a common hideout for the local population of the village of Rakovac and workers of the Rakovac quarry during raids organized by the occupiers. This was also the case during the Great Enemy Offensive on Fruška Gora on August 28, 1942. Those who hid in the „Beli Majdan“ remained safe, whereas 58 workers from the Rakovac quarry were arrested. The director of the Rakovac quarry, Ing. Josip Suić, intervened and managed to liberate 32 workers, but the rest were sent to the internment camp in Sremska Mitrovica, where most of them were killed.

Before World War II, Iriški Venac was one of the central points of Fruška Gora, located at the intersection of Grebenski Put (Ridge Road), today called the Partizanski Put, and the road between Irig and Sremska Kamenica. As an important communication center, Iriški Venac was under the armed control of the occupiers throughout the war and was only liberated in October 1944 by the units of the 7th Vojvodina Brigade. The monument known as "Freedom", dedicated to the fallen fighters and the National Liberation Movement (NOP) of Vojvodina, is one of the first more representative monuments erected in the territory of Vojvodina, and it is also among the most impressive monuments erected in the first decade after liberation across the entire territory of Yugoslavia. Even though Iriški Venac was not of major importance for the Fruška Gora partisans, it was chosen for the location of this monument, being the tourist and traffic center of the mountain. It was unveiled on July 7th, 1951, on the 10th anniversary of the Uprising in Serbia, in the presence of around 100,000 citizens. The author of the monument is the renowned sculptor Sreten Stojanović. "Freedom" belongs to the group of figurative-architectural monuments. The monument is built of Belovac stone and paved with Motajnica granite. The total height of the monument is 36 meters, and the figure of a woman - the personification of the ideal of freedom - at the top of the obelisk is 7 meters high. By some accounts, the figure of the woman is oriented towards Bosnia, because that is where most of the partisans from Srem and the entire Vojvodina province went to combat. In front of the obelisk, on a high pedestal, there is a composition made up of six figures, symbolizing the people of Srem and Vojvodina who rose up in revolt. The base of the monument is framed by a bronze relief 50 meters long, which, through several chronological and thematic units, presents the development and course of the People's Liberation Struggle (NOB) in the area of Srem. Among other things, the relief depicts the entry and terror of the occupiers, the beginning of the uprising, the cooperation between the common people and the partisans, armed conflicts with the occupiers, and the final victory.

With a built-up area of 4830 m², it is one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world.[2] With an inner dome diameter of 30.5 m, the dome is directly modeled on the Hagia Sophia. Work on the church began in 1935. After the Second World War, construction was halted until 1985. Then work was suspended again during the civil war years from 1991 to 2004. The cost of decorating the dome with scenes from the New Testament was borne by Russian President Vladimir Putin, with Gazprom Neft initially covering the costs in 2016. The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov attended the inauguration of the partial completion of the mosaics as part of a state ceremony on February 22, 2018.
