Jedina planina koja pripada gradu Beogradu jeste Avala. Ono što je interesantno jeste da je ona visoka samo 511 metara, i da je kao takva najniža planina u Srbiji. Ipak, kao takva ona je jedno od omiljenih izlatišta Beograđana, koji vole da svoje slobodno vreme provode na njoj i uživaju u prirodi.
Stanovnici okolnih sela su na Avali 1922. podigli kameni spomenik na mestu groba nepoznatog ratnika iz Prvog svetskog rata. Desetak godina kasnije, kralj Aleksandar I Karađorđević odlučio je da se na tom mestu podigne spomenik Neznanom junaku po uzoru na spomenike podignute u savezničkim zemljama. Kameni spomenik je srušen i 1938. godine izgrađen je mauzolej Neznanom junaku po nacrtima jugoslovenskog vajara Ivana Meštrovića.
Ovaj mauzolej nalazi se na najvišoj tački Beograda. On je simbolično mesto odavanje počasti svim palim ratnicima u Prvom svetskom ratu. Do njega se stiže kaskadnik stepeništem. Karijatide koje su visoke četiri metara izgrađene su od istog kamena kao i blokovi spomenika. U pitanju su kamene skuplpture koje su odevene u različitu narodnu nošnju i ukrašene nakitom.
Posmrtni ostaci ratnika koji su tu bili sahranjeni preneti su u crkvu Ružicu na Kalemegdanu a vojnički predmeti izloženi su u Vojnom Muzeju u Beogradu. Na ovom mestu visoki državni zvaničnici svake godine polažu venac i odaju počast stradalim junacima. Ukolik odlučite da poestite najpoznatije beogradsko izletiše, mauzolej Neznanom junaku je mesto koje i vi morate posetiti.
A MONUMENT TO THE UNKNOWN HERO – THE GREATEST MONUMENT ON THE BELGRADE MOUNTAIN
The only mountain that belongs to the city of Belgrade is Avala. What is interesting is that it is only 511 meters high, and that as such is the lowest mountain in Serbia. Nevertheless, it is one of the favorite excursion place of Belgrade, where people like to spend their free time on it and enjoy nature.
In 1922, residents of the surrounding villages raised a stone monument at the site of the grave of an unknown warrior from the First World War on Avala. Ten years later, King Alexander I Karađorđević decided to place a monument to the Unknown Hero on that spot, modeled on monuments built in allied countries. The stone monument was demolished and in 1938 a mausoleum to the Unknown Hero was built according to the plans of the Yugoslav sculptor Ivan Mestrovic
This mausoleum is at the highest point in Belgrade. It is a symbolic place honoring all the fallen warriors in the First World War. A cascading staircase are leading to this monument. The four-meter-high caryatids are built of the same stone as the blocks of monuments. These stone sculptures are dressed in different national costumes and decorated with jewelry.
The remains of warriors who were buried there were transferred to the church Ruzica at Kalemegdan, and military items have been exhibited at the Military Museum in Belgrade. Senior state officials lay a wreath each year at this place and pay tribute to starving heroes . If you decide to visit the most famous Belgrade excursion place Avala, Mausoleum The Unknown Hero is a place that you must visit.
