Marking thirty years of the liberation of Belgrade from German occupation, in 1974 memorial for the victims of Glavnjača was built within the colonnade of the entrance area to the Faculty of Mathematics in Belgrade. The monument consists of two structural units: bronze sculpture in the shape of a five-petal flower placed on a low marble pedestal and hemmed floor mosaic.
Due to rehabilitation works on the foundations of the Faculty’s building the mosaic with sculpture was temporarily relocated, and later returned to its place, when the reconstruction and restoration of a missing part was done.
