Although under the legal guardianship of the state, the monument is nowadays exposed to frequent vandalism and it is a pretext for political clashes.
The monument, which fluctuates between architecture, land-art and sculpture, was built in 1965 in Mostar and in 2006 it was added to the list of national monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina as an architectural ensemble. Its creator, the Yugoslav architect Bogdan Bogdanović, has referred to it in his essays as the drifting city – Hurqalya. The book Mostar’s Hurqualya: The (Un)forgotten City – envisioned by a group of young activists from Mostar, the region, and various parts of the world, deals with one of the most well-known memorial sites of the twentieth century in Herzegovina – the Partisan Memorial Cemetery.
