The field of white crosses of the memorial cemetery dedicated to those who fell in the 1991 Vukovar siege

The Vukovar memorial cemetery with its orderly rows of white crosses extending across a vast green lawn. This sacred place commemorates the thousands of victims of the 1991 siege, both Croatian military and civilians. In the center of the cemetery stands a commemorative monument in green bronze, the focal point of ceremonies held every year on November 18, the anniversary of the city's fall. The geometric arrangement of the crosses, similar to World War I military cemeteries, gives the place an atmosphere of solemnity and respect, remembering the sacrifice of an entire community.
