The dominant composition of the Bubanj Memorial Park are three imposing clenched fists of different sizes. The composition represents men's, women's and children's hands as a depiction of the suffering of entire families. Prominent and deliberately lonely at the top of the hill, this composition gained in importance when one bears in mind that the clenched fist is a universal symbol of resistance and defiance to the enemy and injustice. In addition to clenched fists, the Bubanj Memorial Park also consists of a composition of five elements, which modernistically depicts scenes of machines for killing, shooting, rebellion of the people, capitulation of conquerors and victory. The sentence "They shot us, but they never killed us, never subdued us", engraved in the monument, is a homage to the memory of all the innocent victims, and a reminder that their sacrifice was not in vain and that the idea they kept and fought for was brought freedom.

Within the project “Heritage Walks & Talks” project, we are developing a new cultural and tourist product that will be able to be used freely by individual tourists, as well as travelers in groups. The concept we want to present to you is conceived as a walk through heritage, and we will be able to use it when we want to get acquainted with the cultural and historical heritage of the Western Balkans, especially the heritage that is still modestly derived from the traditions of local communities and that all the visitors have yet to find out.
