Why it is worth your time
Thousands of bricks, each bearing a name, form a wall raised during the Homeland War by the families of fallen and missing Croatian defenders. A quiet, moving monument of private grief turned into shared memory.
Croatia Atlas tip
Read a few of the names slowly: each brick was paid for and inscribed by a grieving family.
