Miajlova’s Pit is a deep sinkhole in limestone located in the forest at Pasuljanske Livade. During the occupation from 1941 to 1945, Chetniks under the command of Gačić killed and threw more than a thousand people, fighters, and sympathizers of the National Liberation Movement into the pit. In 1951, a memorial plaque was placed above the pit, later replaced with a new one. Today, this memorial site is rather neglected and has difficult access.
