The monument is located at the crossroad of Kralja Aleksandra Boulevard and Ruzveltova Street.

The monument was planned to be cast in bronze and set up on the granite pedestal, and the competition was supposed to be announced all over Yugoslavia.

The spot on the corner of Kralja Aleksandra Boulevard and Ruzveltova Street in the Ćirilo i Metodije Park was set as the new and final location.

[1] The monument is 7,25 metres tall, and was unveiled on 7 November 1937, at the occasion of the celebration of 150 years from the birth of Vuk Karadžić.

The underground station was named Vuk's Monument after this structure, and the entire neighbouring part of the city is called Vukov Spomenik.
