Summary
The Partisan Necropolis in Mostar, designed by architect Bogdan Bogdanović and established in 1959, stands as a significant urbanistic, historical, and artistic landmark. This memorial park, integrated into the city's structure with axes oriented toward key urban spots like the old town, reflects the communist party's reinterpretation of World War II as the People's Revolution and their influence on war graves and memorials in post-war Yugoslavia. Despite its cultural value, the necropolis has recently faced politically motivated attacks, highlighting its vulnerability to contemporary political tensions.
