This monument (Спомен Костурница/Spomen Kosturnica) has stood since 1957 on a small hill with a park and a soccer field below. Designed by Serbian sculptor Sreten Stojanović (1898-1960), it consists of a concrete obelisk about 20 m high, a bronze statue of a woman holding up an ear of corn, and a crypt housing the remains of some 300 partisans who died during World War II. The site offers views of the city center and the Banevo Trlo neighborhood, which is mostly populated by Albanians and Roma.
