Banj brdo

Monument to fallen Krajina soldiers on top of Banj brdo

Banj brdo (Serbian Cyrillic: Бањ брдо, which can be translated as Banj hill), before known as Šehitluci (Serbian Cyrillic: Шехитлуци) is a 431 meter hill as well as tourist and recreation place in Banja Luka, part of the Bjeljavina mountain.

On top of the hill stands the Monument to fallen Krajina soldiers, a work of Antun Augustinčić and dedicated to the dead soldiers of the People Liberation War in Bosanska Krajina. It is possible to see the whole city of Banja Luka from this place.[1] The serpentine road on Banj brdo that leads to the monument was made between 1932 and 1933 and a small tourist bus between the top of the hill and the city of Banja Luka is circulating on it during the day (from April 22 to September 30).[2][3]
