The World War II memorial sculpture dedicated to the people of Moslavina during World War II seems abandoned and neglected, in the middle of nowhere it rises proud and alone, awesome tribute.

Really outstanding monument built in the 70s to commemorate the national liberation war (ww2). It's in pretty good shape, just some graffiti. It's about 1 hour from Zagreb. Space for parking on site. Looks like it's not really in use anymore. However it sits atop a hill overlooking the village and lake. It's definitely one of the best monuments to see in ex-Yugoslavia. Highly recommend a visit if you're into this stuff. Accurate location using Google Maps.

One of the most unique monuments from former Yugoslavia. The monument is at the top a hill, giving a beautiful view to the village. It also commemorates the fight and struggle to save the world from Nazism. The monument could be better maintained and it is definitely worth a visit.

Hidden and forgotten monument built in former Yugoslavia after the WWII. It is one of the many scattered along the ex-yu. Really impressive. In my opinion worth seeing and visiting.

I'm shocked that there's so little people who visit the monument. It's a short 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes drive to a little town east of Zagreb. Wonderful design, beautiful walkway and breathtaking view of the new nearby Villa Grac lake and area. If you have the time, highly recommended to visit and enjoy a few hours out there, can also grab a drink or lunch at Villa Grac down the road.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
