The Monument to the Uprising of the People of Kordun and Banija (simply known as the Petrova Gora Monument) is a World War II monument built on Veliki Petrovac, the highest peak of Petrova Gora (English: Peter's Mountain), a mountain range in central Croatia. The site of the monument is shared between three municipalities: Gvozd and Topusko, in Sisak-Moslavina County and Vojnić, in Karlovac County.
The monument celebrates the uprising and resistance movement of the people of Kordun and Banija against Nazi fascism and commemorates the victims of Nazism, both civilian victims and fallen resistance fighters.
After the founding of the first partisan units in Kordun and Banija regions in the early summer of 1941, ethnic Serbs fought against Nazism and occupation. This region was also a founding site of the Main headquarters of the People's Liberation Army of Croatia, the Partisan Hospital was active during the whole war and in 1944 the 3rd session of ZAVNOH was held in Topusko.[1][2]
The author of the monument is a renowned Croatian sculptor Vojin Bakić. Construction of the monument was completed in 1981.
