Located in Tjentište, Bosnia and Herzegovina, this brutalist monument commemorates the Battle of Sutjeska, a pivotal World War II engagement. Completed in 1971, the structure rises 19 meters and is constructed from reinforced concrete and reinforcing bar—materials characteristic of the Yugoslav monumentalist aesthetic that dominated the postwar period. Like other *spomeniks* erected across Yugoslavia in the decades following the war, it stands as a striking example of how the socialist state memorialized its resistance against Axis occupation through monumental abstract forms.
