    The Partisan Necropolis (Serbo-Croatian: Партизанско гробље/Partizansko groblje) in Mostar is a cemetery for 810 partisans who fell fighting the Ustasha and the German occupiers during World War II. Designed from 1959 and built until 1965, the monument was designed by Yugoslav architect and sculptor Bogdan Bogdanović and is one of his most significant projects. It covers an area of over 5,200 square meters.

      Becoming a lost Place:
      In 1992, the cemetery was badly damaged by war and dynamiting. After the war, the cemetery deteriorated due to severe neglect, vandalism and devastation.
      On 31 January 2003, a Committee was created in support of renovating the cemetery. By the end of 2004 an operational programme of measures was created. In 2005, works were fixed and various parts of the complex and greenery were reconstructed. On 9 May 2005, the cemetery was formally opened.
      In 2006, the cemetery was proclaimed a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since then however, the cemetery has once again fallen victim to neglect, heavy vandalism and rubbish dumping. In early 2022, more nationalist graffiti appeared at the cemetery entrance and on 14 June 2022, most of 700 tombstones were smashed by vandals. In the following week informal groups and individuals started leaving flowers and recovering pieces in symbolic manner.
