In 1999, the first monument in Bovec was discovered that was not dedicated solely to the Partisans. The monument in Bovec, the work of sculptor Jakob Brdar, is a bronze sculpture in a stylized human form.[1] It is placed on the green area in front of the health care home, right on the main road through Bovec. In front of the monument is the inscription «To the Tigrovcem, partisans and all coastal patriots». The official ceremony on the occasion of the unveiling took place on a rainy Sunday, September 26, 1999, in the presence of Bovec's mayor Siniša Grmovšek and the minister of culture Jožef Školč. The official unveiling was performed by Franc Kavs from Čezsoče, one of the still-living Tigrovcem at that time.[2]
