Memorial park and museum, built on 1976, to memorize maybe the biggest nazism crime against simple citizens and villagers. Around 3000 people have been executed in teams of 50, as one more nazist attempt,to terrify and suppressed Serbian, Yugoslavian people. The museum is build with red bricks to symbolize the rivers of innocent blood and has no glass and windows to give an idea of the prisoners feeling. Inside you can feel the history and true deep human emotions. Then the so big fully green park help you relax and through the relative statues and nature rise the hope of a peace life

Reviewed By Srdjan_KG - Kragujevac, Serbia
It is a representative middle-European building, bulded 1887. Academically sure in its
elegance. Eclectically spaciously designed. A self-confident, outstanding building. The project was done in Vienna, and the construction lasted from 1884 to 1888. The woodwork is still in this period, and it is built in a Viennese carpenter's workshop. The building is under state protection as a cultural and historical monument of great importance.
The building of the High school marked the utmost height of construction in 19th. century Kragujevac.

Modern mall well presented but lacking in any spirit. Most items can be found there. If you are looking for outlet style sports gear there is a store nearby that has shoes at half the price of the mall stores. Ask a local.

Reviewed By Milan C - Kragujevac, Serbia
This is a women monastery (nunnery), located about 10 km from Kragujevac, in Draca river valley. Road to monastery is not very good - it is bumpy and narrow. However, nature and little village are really beautiful. Church and monastery dormitories are very old, but well preserved. First records of this monastery are from XVI century. You can also visit Monastery in Divostin with Annunciation Chuch on the road from Kragujevac to Draca.

Fantastic outdoor space, some 3 mls from downtown heading East. A small creek, wood, manmade Gardens, children playground, botanics and mini Zoo with domestic animals, runned by locals. No fee, but be kind to bring some waste bread loafs to contribute feeding animals. Here you can have a nice picknick on a sort of cities "Ecology island".

The Monastery is secluded in a gorge of a creek running into river Dulenka some 16 km south of Kragujevac.on the old road to Jagodina, turning right at the pointer). It is a part of "Trilogy" along with two more late medieval monasteries nearby Sarinac and Denkovac. Raletinac is a female monastery. Due to a Turkish looting the buildings are from later period. Although you will be left without sights of astonishing, (but rather simple) architecture you will enjoy a peaceful and very friendly environment. The beautiful natural surrounding is even more improved by vivid colors of many flowers grown by the nuns in the yard, next to a shimmering water from the spring running into the creek. Do come in springtime. The meal you might get to share with them is vegetarian. Please obey simple rules, dress properly while entering the compound (no shorts, no mini skirts), go to a church first, light a candle - upper shelve for your closest, lower for a deceased). Usually you will see civilians, very often these are a local voluntaries, helping in running such a big compound in simple works...
