The Victory monument in the prince Mihailo square

The sculptural unit under the name of the Victory Monument, which is placed in the town centre of Gornji Milanovac, to be more precise, in the Prince Mihailo Square, is a work of art of Ratomir Stojadinović from 1959. The monument consists of two sculptural forms. The horizontal one has two white marble walls, joined at a right angle as an open book, whose surfaces have a carved figural relief depicting a mother who is protecting her child from fire as well as a profile of a national hero who is fighting with an enemy soldier. Besides that, the other part of the unit consists of a vertical iron obelisk in the shape of lightning aiming towards the sky. The monument is interpreted as a symbol of suffering, striving for freedom and successful liberation.
