Graveyard of NOB fighters on Golovcu, Celje

The tomb is dedicated to 114 fallen fighters of NOB.

It is the work of architect J. Hartman (1961). The tomb with the monument has a vaulted canopy.

Former pillars have been replaced by three granite blocks with inscriptions.

In it rest also: Ivan Kovačič - Efenka     1921-1963 Dušan Kraigher - Jug      1908-1943 Franc Leskošek - Luka   1897-1983 Franc Rojšek - Jaka        1914-1975 Vera Šlander - Lojzka     1921-1943 Mica Šlander                   1911-1945

who were transferred from the abandoned Tomb of National Heroes on the Theatre Square in the centre of Celje. Thus, the lower statement might also not be true.

On the website Slovenski grobovi, it is mistakenly marked as Grobnica herojev, since the heroes Leskošek and Kraigher are buried here.
