In the center of the city is the Square of Kosovo Heroes with a monument that is a symbol of the city since 1904. The monument was solemnly unveiled by King Peter I Karadjordjevic to celebrate the centenary of the First Serbian Uprising.
On the right side there are figures of a guslar who keeps the folk tale about the Kosovo war, and on the left side, there is a young girl who symbolizes Serbia with outstretched arms towards the unliberated areas (Kosovo and Metohija, Old Serbia).
The monument was built in the neoclassical style and its height is 6 m, at the top is Boško Jugović with a villa that gives him a laurel wreath of victory. The two reliefs represent the communion of the Serbian army before the Kosovo battle and the assassination of the Turkish Sultan Murat.
