The Gazimestan monument

Battle map

A map, depicting the battlefield of the Battle of Kosovo, 15 June 1389, and the description in Serbian, in bronze at the top of the Gazimestan monument, about 5 kilometres north of Prishtina and about 6-7 kilometres southeast of the actual battlefield, known as Kosovo Polje, the Kosovo field. This is where Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović (1329 – 1389), the Serbian ruler, was killed at that battle while leading a pan-Christian army assembled to confront the invading Ottoman Empire, led by Sultan Murad I, who defeated the Serbian Army and its allies but was assassinated during or after the battle. The Gazimestan monument was designed by Aleksandar Deroko, in the shape of a medieval tower, and built in 1953.
