EDITORS COMMENTS
The Victor Monument, also known as Pobednik or Viktor, stands proudly atop Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade, Serbia, commemorating the country's victories in the First Balkan War (1912-1913) and World War I. Sculpted by renowned Croatian artist Ivan Mestrovic in the early 20th century, this contemporary work of art is a symbol of Serbian pride and resilience. The monument depicts a muscular, nude man with a falcon perched on his shoulder, holding a sword in one hand and raising the other in triumph. The falcon, the national bird of Serbia, represents the country's strength and freedom. The man, known as The Victor, embodies the spirit of the Serbian people and their unwavering determination in the face of adversity. The monument's base is made of stone, while the figure and the falcon are cast in bronze. The shaft of the monument is adorned with intricate reliefs depicting various scenes from Serbian history. The statue stands at a height of over 14 meters, making it a prominent feature of the Belgrade skyline. The Victor Monument was unveiled in 1928, marking the 1,000th anniversary of the founding of the Serbian state. It has since become a beloved symbol of Serbian identity and a popular tourist attraction. The monument's enduring significance in Serbian history and culture is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Serbian people and their rich historical heritage.
