Tito's Mausoleum

Tito's Mausoleum

Tito's Mausoleum is also known as the "Flower House." It is the tomb of Josip Broz Tito, the renowned leader of the former Yugoslavia. It earned the nickname "Flower House" because the area around the tomb was once always surrounded by flowers, although now it is encircled by white rocks. Josip Broz Tito was born on May 25, 1892, in the village of Kumrovec, Croatia.

During World War II, Tito led the Yugoslav armed forces in a courageous struggle against fascism and was awarded the rank of Marshal in 1943. After the establishment of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Tito remained the country’s highest leader, serving both as Secretary General of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia and as President of the Republic. He passed away on May 4, 1980. Following his death, Yugoslavia did not construct an extravagant mausoleum but instead laid him to rest in the greenhouse of the presidential residence. The Serbian people hold Tito in high regard; due to his leadership, Yugoslavia experienced a golden era when the nation had status and its people had dignity. To this day, visitors continue to place flowers at Tito's Tomb as a tribute to their enduring respect for him.
