Miodrag Živković and Svetislav Licina are the authors of this monument. The construction of the monument was fully completed in 1969. The Monument to the Brave is located in a very symbolic place. A bloody battle between Serbian partisans and German troops took place here in 1944. Almost the entire partisan detachment died during the battle.
