938 bodies were exhumed at the cemetery and 938 white crosses were erected at the site. These are the victims of the Croatian War of Independence. Very sad display, yet so powerful. In the middle part of the cemetery, located on the east side of Vukovar is a monument where an eternal flame burns.

The center of Stari Vukovar is recognizable for houses with baroque arches built in the typical style of Maria Theresa Provincial Baroque. There used to be craft workshops and shops that were showing the status of richer Vukovar citizens.

It's a standing reminder of the ravages of war and it's good that the citizens of Vukovar keep this water tower, with it's damage from the shelling of it by the Serbs, as a reminder of what happened to them a short few decades ago.
5. Danube River Walkway
6. Vidikovac Sarengradska Ada
7. Old Water Tower
The tower was built in 1913. Today it's one of the oldest facilities of that kind in Croatia. It occupies a central place on the main square in front of the Dunav hotel and City Hall.
8. Becarski Kriz
The whole part of the city is called after this cross - at Becarski Kriz. This was the first stone cross erected in 1805 (before they were all wooden). In 1996 local Serbian authorities knocked down the cross, and later on it was renewed.
9. The Central Cross
The cross was erected in the honor of all fallen defenders for Croatian freedom in October 1998, at the estuary of river Vuka. The monument is 9.5 meters high and weighs 40 tons. It consists of two parts, and it is made of two types of stone: white Brac stone (the cross) and Pazin stone (the stand).
