Podgaric, Croatia: Monument to the Revolution
Erected in 1967, this monument was created in tribute to the region of Moslavina. An uprising against Croatia’s Ustase, the country’s fascist police force, occurred here resulting in the deaths of 900 soldiers. Commissioned by Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito, monuments such as this one are known as spomeniks in countries that were once part of Yugoslavia. They can be found all across the Western Balkans.
