Memorial

In the middle you will find a monumental staircase. On its left side there is a sculpture that promises a battle flag and on its right side it symbolizes peace and victory. At the highest step of the staircase is the dominant part – the pylon, whose top is decorated with a five-pointed star.

On both sides of the memorial there is a cemetery. It is currently a burial ground for more than 1,350 soldiers. The grove was intended for combat intentionally, because it is clear to see the whole country.
