context_page_description: The Zebrnjak monument is located on a high location in the village of Mlado Nagoričane, near Kumanovo, North Macedonia.
context_section_description: It was built in 1937, for the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Kumanovo which took place on 23 and 24 October 1912 during the First Balkan War, between the Turkish Vardar Army and the First Serbian Army. In the battle the Turkish army was defeated and was forced to withdraw.
  Today from the monument all that is left is the lower part, thorus with the bones from the casualties of the battle. What is missing is the three sided pyramid tower with which the monument would be 48.5 meters high.
  By his monument architecture, Zebrnjak was one of a kind in the Balkans. It was made by granite cubes, according to the project designed by Momir Korunović and the frescoes in the interior were painted by Živorad Nastasijević, on them were represented pictures from everyday life with figures wearing Serbian folklore clothing.
