Partizan Memorial
Partizan Memorial (Gorica Hill, Podgorica) – built during the 1950s, this monument honors the partisan fighters who liberated Podgorica from the Italian Axis forces during World War II, and it comes in the form of a gleaming white mausoleum flanked by fierce-looking Partizan fighters. Designed by architect Vojislav Đokić and sculptor Dragan Đurovic after a suggestion in 1953 by the Republican Alliance of Fighters, the grave and monument to national heroes was finished in 1957, when the mortal remains of the Partizans were laid to rest in the crypt.
