It is located on a mountain with a view of Bratislava Castle and almost the entire city area. The central square of the complex is dominated by a ceremonial hall, which is accessed by an impressive door with a bronze relief. In the hall are statues, inscriptions and a sarcophagus, placed there as a symbol for the dead. <br>On top of the hall, a 39.5 meter high granite pylon was built, topped with a statue of a soldier hoisting up a flag for the liberated country, stamping down a swastika, the sign of the national socialism. <br>A staircase leads from the central square to the cemetery with six mass graves and over 250 individual tombs. <br>A park surrounds the monument Slav\u00edn and from the east terrace, you can enjoy an excellent view over the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/graeber.jpg\" alt=\"Denkmal Slav\u00edn\" data-id=\"9168\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/graeber.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/slovakia\/bratislava\/monumental-war-memorial-slavin\/attachment\/if-316-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-9168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/graeber.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/graeber-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/graeber-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/grabstaetten.jpg\" alt=\"Denkmal Slav\u00edn\" data-id=\"9170\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/grabstaetten.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/slovakia\/bratislava\/monumental-war-memorial-slavin\/attachment\/if-315-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-9170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/grabstaetten.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/grabstaetten-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/grabstaetten-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> To me, the visit to this monument felt depressing.
