The monument is approached by a wide staircase leading to an elevated plateau, where eight caryatid sculptures stand guard around the tomb. Each figure represents a woman in traditional dress from different regions of the former Yugoslavia, symbolising unity among the South Slavic peoples. To make way for the monument, the remains of the medieval Žrnov fortress were demolished, a decision that remains controversial. Today, the site serves both as a place of national remembrance and a scenic viewpoint overlooking the Belgrade region.
