Nice example of a "brutalist" soc-realism monument, celebrating the WW2 partisans. Unfortunately, the monument is falling apart and apparently nobody cares enough to repair it.

Even so, this is a very popular place for hikers and joggers. Climbing uphill with a bike is slightly challenging, with a 10-15% inclination. It is also officially forbidden to drive up here but nobody seems to care.

Commemorative monument for partizans fallen in WW2. Built in 1961 by famous sculptor Antuna Augustinčića, with illustrations by Ismeta Mujezinovića on the inside, this is one of the best examples of soc-realist art in former Yugoslavia.
