Mound of the Unbeaten (Macedonian: Могила на непобедените) is a World War II Yugoslav memorial in the Park of the Revolution, Prilep, North Macedonia. The monument and memorial complex were built by the Yugoslav Communist authorities in 1961 in honor to the fallen fighters of the so-called People's Liberation Struggle in Macedonia. Author of the memorial complex is Yugoslav architect Bogdan Bogdanović.
The complex consists of memorial urns and the common graves of fallen Communist Macedonian Partisans. The urns are constructed from marble, and reminiscent of the antique urns. Biggest urn in complex has the symbol of the eternal flame at the top, which is symbol of Macedonian people's struggle for freedom. In the second part of the complex is the crypt which houses the remains of 462 fallen partisan fighters from Prilep and the neighboring places . Their names are inscribed on the marble slabs.
The memorial complex was revitalized from 2007 until 2008.[1]
