    The Glagolitic Avenue (Croatian: Aleja glagoljaša) is a monument consisting of a series of eleven open-air monuments lining the road between the villages of Roč and Hum in Croatia. [1] Between 1977 and 1985, sculptures were erected to commemorate the historic Croatian tradition of writing in the Glagolitic script. [2] The road is seven kilometers long and is located in the Istria region.

      History
      The idea for the monument came from the writer Zvane Črnja, while the individual monuments were designed by the sculptor Želimir Janeš and the literary historian Josip Bratulić. The alley traces the path of the Istrian, Croatian, and Slavic Glagolitic traditions and illustrates the centers of Croatian Glagolitic medieval literature in Istria, highlighting their Slavic roots and literacy, as well as their continuity from the 11th century to the present.
