By the end of the war, Yugoslav king Aleksandar Karadordevic thought of building a monument to all unknown Serbian soldiers killed in the First WW. The task was given to the famous sculptor Ivan Mestrovic,who built the monument consisting of eight female figures who represents eight parts of the former Yugoslavia.The monument was built in 1938, the three of those eight figures was done in stone by Giuseppe Grassi.The monument is placed at the top of the mountain Avala which is 20km from Belgrade.

Kalemegdan is the biggest and the most ancient complex in Belgrade. In Kalemegdan above all is situated the statue of Victor,it represents  the Serbian victory in the First WW.That is  an astonishing figure of a naked warrior with a sword and a falcon in his hands.The monument was made by a famous Yugoslav sculptor Ivan Mestrovic. The monument was reveald in 1928. The monument should have been placed at Terazije  but the Belgrade ladies were against it because Victor is a naked male  figure.Then it was decided to move it to Kalemegdan and raise it on a tall column.The monument is turned towards the former border of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy,that is for sure a must-see and also a landmark.
