Description Change this
This complex located in Črni Kal, Slovenia commemorates fighters and veterans from the surrounding area who fell and fought during the National Liberation War (WWII). In the early 1960s, local government and veteran groups organized the construction of the complex just outside of Črni Kal, which would commemorate those people from 18 surrounding villages who perished during the People's Liberation Struggle. Edo Mihevc won the competition. The finished memorial sculpture set was officially unveiled to the public in 1966, commemorating 26 years since the region's liberation. The central sculptural element of the memorial are three conceptual curved sculptures made of marble blocks, meant to symbolize historic Istrian barges of antiquity.
