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.

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.
5. Phoenix Monument
6. Danube River Walkway
7. Chapel of St. Roch
It is situated in Zupanijska street, the main street of New Vukovar. The chapel is harmoniously embedded in the Eltz castle complex, even though it's not its part, as it was built 9 years before, in 1740.
8. Old Water Tower
The tower was built in 1913. Today it's one of the oldest facilities of that kind in Croatia. It occupies a central place on the main square in front of the Dunav hotel and City Hall.
9. Church of St. Nicholas
Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas was built in the period from 1733 to 1737 with elements of the Provincial Baroque. The last significant change dates back to 1935. In the church there is a room where church books and old office records are kept since 1732 onwards.
10. Becarski Kriz
The whole part of the city is called after this cross - at Becarski Kriz. This was the first stone cross erected in 1805 (before they were all wooden). In 1996 local Serbian authorities knocked down the cross, and later on it was renewed.
