Although only fifty years old, the monument to the Heroes of the Battle of Mojkovac has become a symbol of the city. Located on the right bank of the Tara, near the stone bridge, the monument, the work of the sculptor Drago Đurović and the architect Mirko Đukić, was built in 1966, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the famous Mojkovac battle. Although it was not crucial for the final outcome, this battle is one of the most significant in the First World War and the entire history of Montenegro. On Christmas Day in 1916, the Montenegrin army, under the leadership of sergeant Janko Vukotic, with enormous sacrifices, won a stronger and more supremely superior Austro-Hungarian army. Mojkovac's heroes became a symbol of starvation and heroism, and another confirmation of traditional Montenegrin courage and heroism.
