of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, by sculptor Ivan Fijolić. Located in the City Park of "Zrinjevac,"
the life-sized statue stands 1.68 m tall, shorter than Bruce Lee's actual height of 1.72 m and is a

Los Angleles in 2013.

The statue was the first public monument to Bruce Lee unveiled in the world, with a statue in Hong Kong
being revealed one day later marking what would have been the Hong Kong American star's 65th
birthday.
Shortly afterward the sculpture was vandalized, removed for repairs and brought back at the end of
May 2013.[5][6] Both Bosnians and Croats had complained that the statue was a provocation because
they thought it was pointed towards their area in a fighting stance, so its creators rotated the statue
to face a neutral direction.

History:
This spomenik complex at Mostar commemorates the 810 named fallen World War II fighters from
Mostar whose bodies are interred in the cemetery here; each of the fighters were members of the
Partisan National Liberation Army and died fighting against the Axis Ustaše and German occupiers.

Created in 1965, it is one of the most impressive commemorative cemeteries inherited

from socialist period in the former Yugoslavia. Built in height west of the city center,
near the Catholic Cathedral, it offers a beautiful view of Mostar and offers a beautiful
possibility of walking in nature. A mixture of land art and brutality, it is designed as a
huge garden on a 250 m journey surrounded by a large forest park (Trimuša).

History - The idea of this monument dedicated to the Communist fighters of the Second
World War was born in 1960 by the will of Džemal Bijedić, a native politician of Mostar
and the future Yugoslav Prime Minister from 1971 to 1977. The city was particularly
affected by the conflict, as it was estimated that 810 military casualties and more than
1,000 civilians were killed, with a population of 18,000. The design is entrusted to
Bogdan Bogdanović (1922-2010). This Serbian architect has worked to achieve many of
Yugoslavia's time memorials. He is known for his magnificent Stone Flower, erected in
Jasenovac, Croatia, in memory of the victims of the Oustachis, or for his Neccropole of
the victims of fascism in Travnik, Central Bosnia. The monument was inaugurated on
September 20, 1965 by Tito on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the
liberation of the city. Since 1992, the site has suffered from war-related degradation, but
mainly a lack of maintenance. A major renovation work was carried out from 2004 under
the supervision of Bogdan Bogdanović. The monument was reopened to the public in
May 2005.

Visit - Architect Bogdan Bogdanović took the Neretva as inspiration: the course is
designed as a river that winds on a paved ground of pebbles from the Neretva and
leads to a huge "cascade" of stone and concrete blocks drowned in greenery.
There, the bodies of 560 supporters (all remains could not be found), eight of which,
considered as "national hero", are buried in a circular mausoleum, located at the top of
the cascade. Bogdan Bogdanović voluntarily chose not to include «no symbol of the
iconography of death or socialist realism», that is, neither cross nor sickle and hammer,
to avoid any «glorification of death».
