The original design brief for the Home of Revolution (Dom Revolucije) stipulated that the building's surface area should measure 7,230 square meters. However, during the design process, the surface area tripled to 21,738 square meters. Dom Revolucije was built as a memorial to those who died during the Second World War and as a landmark and cultural center for the city of Niksic. At the time, Niksic was one of the industrial centers of Yugoslavia. Construction work on the building stopped in 1989.
