Photo Slideshow

This slideshow presents a select number of the abstract WWII (NOB) monuments of the former-Yugoslavia (or 'spomeniks'). This listing is not meant to be a comprehensive catalog of all spomeniks in the former-Yugoslavia. It is simply a curated list of visually striking ones which contain profile pages on this website. Click on any photo to take you to that spomenik's profile page.
