Abstract

In the territory of the former Yugoslavia, in the post-war period, numerous monumental sculptures, also referred to as "spomeniks" (monuments), were erected at various points, often in natural settings, to commemorate the People's Liberation War. Our focus in this paper is on one of them, the monument to the Kosmaj Partisan Detachment on mountain Kosmaj, near Belgrade. We examine the historical context in which the monument was created, directing the emphasis of the work towards the geometrical analysis of this object. We delve into the geometric elements of the monument, utilizing photogrammetry and descriptive geometry procedures. Through 'reverse engineering' based on the point cloud model and its orthogonal projections, we provide its idealized dimensions and plan.
