Gorica, Memorial to Yugoslav Fighters at the Cemetery

Monument to the Fallen (Yugoslav) SLOVENIAN BORCEM AT THE CEMETERY IN GORICA

To the monument, we go by following the main path from the entrance among cypresses directly to the cross, where we turn right-angled to the right and walk to the end: on the left side, among the cypresses, on the new part, just before the Slovenian state border, stands a monument artistically crafted from white smooth marble. If we look at the plan, we find it on the area "G", . The artist designed the monument, which with its eight, slightly wavy, upward-growing narrow teeth or leaves, calls the image of an opening flower, with a round core below in the center. Although the forms, as mentioned, are indicated only imaginatively, the monument is at the same time tender and majestic. If we look at the monument from the path by which we come, on the left pillar (or leaf) in front we notice (the engraved letters are not colored) a illuminated Slovenian inscription: PADLIM, UMRLIM IN POGREŠANIM / JUGOSLOVANSKIM / BORCEM NARODNOOSVOBODILNE / VOJNE / HVALEŽNA DOMOVINA / SOCIJALISTIČNA FEDERATIVNA REPUBLIKA / JUGOSLAVIJA / 1979. The same inscription is also engraved in Serbian and Croatian and in Italian on the following left pillar, while on the right pillar the names of 43 fallen are engraved.
