National Museum of Nis, Monument on Čegar (Serbia)

Unused.  The following comes from the wheretoserbia website:  “Monument on Čegar hill is dedicated to fallen rebelers against Ottoman invaders. It is built on the date of 50 year anniversary of liberation of Ottoman Empire. On date June 1st 1927. On this place on May 31st 1809. battle on Čegar hill took place. During battle, Serbian commander Stevan Sindjelić saw that Ottoman forces are numerous and battle will be lost. Then he went to weapons magazines with gunpowder and blast them. In that way, he stopped the Ottoman progression. For that reason Ottomans made Scull tower from sculls of Serbian soldiers.”  We get the message very clearly.  Grade: 1
