Yugoslav Spomeniks (Part 4-A): Serbia's Most Beautiful Towns & Villages
19-22. October 2022. Serbia (Србија) 🇷🇸 This video presents this first half of my 10-day Autumn round-trip drive from Vršac around the most beautiful parts of Serbia for 1,117 miles (1,978 km) looking for Yugoslav-era spomeniks (monuments). I found (26) of them. The spomeniks are mainly World War II memorial sculptures that were part of a grand project of Tito's to unify socialist Yugoslavia in the aftermath of the NOB. Estimates put the number of such spomeniks built at up to 40,000. These communist works of art are unique and beautiful and often abandoned.
The towns / areas I rolled through are (Part 4-A) Topola (Топола), Paraćin (Параћин), Kruševac (Крушевац) (Slobodište Memorial Complex), Retanj (Ртањ) in the Serbian Carpathians, Knjaževac (Књажевац), Štrbac (Штрбац), Pirot (Пирот), Stara Planina Villages of Donja Kamenica (Доња Каменица), Gostuša (Гостуша), & Rsovci (Рсовци), Niš (Ниш), Donja Lokošnica (Доња Локошница) AKA World's Red Pepper Capital, Prokuplje (Прокупље), Beloljin (Белољин), Kopaonik (Копаоник) (Mramor Monument), Novi Pazar (Нови Пазар), (Part 4-B) Novi Pazar (Нови Пазар), Sjenica, (Сјеница), Prijepolje (Пријепоље), Zlatibor (Златибор), Mokra Gora (Мокра Гора), Tara National Park (Brno Borova Memorial Site), Perućac (Перућац), Obrenovac (Обреновац), Vršac (Вршац), Banatski Karlovac (Банатски Карловац).
