The Monument to the Fallen Šumadija Soldiers was erected in 1932, near the city marketplace and the city center. It was created based on a design by the renowned sculptor Antun Augustinčić, who won an anonymous competition announced in 1928. The monument itself was realized in collaboration with Jozo Kljaković, a professor at the Zagreb Academy of Arts.

The monument was built in memory of fallen warriors of Šumadija in Serbia’s wars. Copper plaques mounted on the walls beneath the sculptures bear the engraved years: 1815, 1911, 1912, and 1914. The structure consists of several elements: a circular stone staircase, a four-armed stone pedestal covered with plaster, two soldiers in uniforms in a combat stance on each arm of the pedestal corresponding to the years of the wars, and a central pylon featuring a young woman with an outstretched right hand holding a crown, representing the primary and central symbol of liberation. All the figures are cast in bronze and are depicted with great realism.
