The monument of the Winner
Fourteen-meter tall bronze figure of the warrior with a sward in right and a falcon in left hand placed on stone stand is a famous symbol of Belgrade and its freedom-loving tradition. This monument, the work of sculptor Ivana Mestrovic was erected in 1928, on a tenth anniversary of the breach of the Thessalonica front, celebrating the great Serbian victory in World War I.
According to the original plan, the monument was supposed to be placed in the city centre, in Terazije Square. Due to disapproving of the conservative population of the time caused by the realistic presentation of the male body, the statue was placed at the Kalemegdan facing Zemun.
