Unveiled in 1960, Slavín is a military cemetery and memorial monument that can be found in Slovakia’s capital, Bratislava. It was designed by famed Slovak architect, Jan Svetlik, to memorialize the Soviet Army soldiers who lost their lives during World War II. Visitors can see the graves of 6,845 soldiers as well as the impressive memorial that towers over them. The National Cultural Monument is nearly 40 meters high and sits atop a hall filled with statues, inscriptions, and a sarcophagus made of white marble. Surrounding Slavin, visitors will be able to see statues of famous Slovak artists as well.
