Spomenik revolucije naroda Moslavine

Spomenik revolucije naroda Moslavine je monumentalan spomenik kod mjesta Podgarić u Moslavini, rad kipara Dušana Džamonje. Visok je 10, a širok 20 metara.

Moslavačka gora je tijekom Narodnooslobodilačkog rata bila ustanička i partizanska baza Moslavine i šireg područja sve do Zagreba. U blizini sela Podgarić je 1942. godine bila osnovana partizanska bolnica „Stara konspiracija”. S vremenom je Podgarić postao centar ustanka, te je u njemu boravilo Povjerenstvo Centralnog komiteta Komunističke partije Hrvatske za sjevernu Hrvatsku. Uz selo su bile podignute bolnice i radionice, Uz selo su bile podignute bolnice i radionice, a u samom mjestu organizovani su razni kursevi i održavale se pozorišne predstave.
Džamonja je zamislio spomenik kao arhitektonski projekat skulpture čiji su volumeni od betona stavljeni u takav odnos kako bi do izražaja došla dinamika kretanja masa. Spomenik je završen 1967. godine, a svečano ga je otvorio predsjednik SFRJ, Josip Broz Tito, 7. septembra.

Na prilazu do spomenika nalazi se spomen-kosturnica u kojoj su sahranjeni posmrtni ostaci oko 1000 poginulih i umrlih boraca u partizanskim bolnicama s tog područja.

Monument to the Revolution of the people of Moslavina is a World War II memorial sculpture by Dušan Džamonja, located in Podgarić, Croatia. The monument is about 10m tall and 20m wide. It is dedicated to the people of Moslavina during World War II.

Beginning in the winter of 1941 through to the end of the war, the area around the Moslavina village of Podgarić became a significant center of Partisan revolt and a hub of activity for the Croatian Communist Party’s Central Committee in Northern Croatia. Deep in the wooded hillsides above the village of Podgarić, several hospital complexes were constructed, most with the two most notable ones being "Stara Konspiracija" (Old Conspiracy) and "Novo Konspiracija" (New Conspiracy). These hospitals mostly serviced the needs of the 10th Zagreb Partisan Corps (comprised of about 6,000 soldiers). The first wounded soldiers began being treated at these hospitals at Podgarić on January 27th, 1942. In addition to serving the needs of wounded soldiers, the communist Partisan leadership of Northern Croatia also used the site to host political and offensive strategy sessions. As a result, the small village of Podgarić became the cultural, political and military center for the resistance efforts of the surrounding Moslavina region. By the end of the war, the hospital complex here was so vast that it could treat over 700 wounded patients at once. However, despite the location of this hospital complex within the remote and inaccessible hills and forests of Podgarić, which allowed it to operate in relative secrecy, several Axis incursions into the area did occur during WWII that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Partisan soldiers.

The official public unveiling for the complex was on September 7th, 1967, for which there was a grand ceremony attended by hundreds of people and personally opened and inaugurated by the President of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito.

At the base of the monument is a memorial ossuary in which the remains of about 1000 killed and deceased fighters are buried.
