Spomenik palim borcima NOB-a

Built in the socialist years, Spomenik palim borcima NOB-a is one of the abstract monuments that dot the Croatian landscape.

Good to know

Spomenik palim borcima NOB-a stands in Central Croatia, one of the six regions that make up the Croatia most visitors fall for. From the Adriatic shore to the karst mountains and the quiet inland valleys, this part of the country gives you something worth the detour.

Many are poorly signposted, so save the coordinates before you lose signal.

Practical info

• Entry: check the official source before you travel. Prices and opening hours change, and some spots close entirely out of season.
• How to get there: Tap the map for the route. Croatian town parking is mostly paid and marked with blue P signs; if your trip involves an island, build buffer time in for the ferry.

Best time to visit

Spomenik palim borcima NOB-a is at its best from May to October. June and September are the sweet spot, warm water, long days, and thinner crowds than high July and August. Winter shows a quieter, cheaper and surprisingly handsome country, especially inland and in the cities.
