Memorial Ossuary, Čačak

Between the two world wars, the ladies from Čačak, led by teacher Milica Obradović, founded the women's section of the "Association of Reserve Officers and Warriors" - FIDAC (French: Fédération Interallié des Anciens Combattants) on October 22, 1928.

Above the ossuary, according to the idea of the Čačak engineer Isidor Janjić (the father of the well known meteorologist Zaviša Janjić), the local stonecutter Francesco Berbelja of Italian origin, built a monument in the shape of an obelisk made of blue stone delivered from his quarry (Francesco's "blue stone" is still being exploited in Serbia [3] ).

The monument was unveiled by the king's envoy Oscar Casca, on September 23, 1934, in the presence of representatives of the embassies of France, England, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey, as well as priests of all four faiths.

The ossuary houses 652 remains of Serbian and 262 soldiers of Central Powers who died and were buried in Čačak region during the First World War.

In 1942, the German occupation authorities in Čačak ordered the stonecutter Francesca Berbelja to remove religious symbols representing Judaism and the Islamic religion from the Memorial Ossuary.
