In the western part of the city, dominated by extensive green areas, lies this magnificent Monumental Cemetery. It was built in 1965 (during the period of renewal and reconstruction following the end of World War II) by the architect Bogdan Bogdanovic, in memory of the partisans of Mostar who lost their lives during the war.The Cemetery has 661 tombstones and every stone has its own symbolic significance, like the Monumental complex itself.
