Memorijalno Groblje Vukovar

Reviewed By Andr3a1o - Zagreb, Croatia

938 bodies were exhumed at the cemetery and 938 white crosses were erected at the site. These are the victims of the Croatian War of Independence. Very sad display, yet so powerful. In the middle part of the cemetery, located on the east side of Vukovar is a monument where an eternal flame burns.

Vukovar Water Tower

Reviewed By Edmundo_de_ABQ - Albuquerque, United States

It's a standing reminder of the ravages of war and it's good that the citizens of Vukovar keep this water tower, with it's damage from the shelling of it by the Serbs, as a reminder of what happened to them a short few decades ago.
