Vukovar

Vukovar is a historic city in Croatia known for its cultural heritage and strategic location along the Danube River. It experienced significant destruction during the Croatian War of Independence in the early 1990s, particularly during the Battle of Vukovar in 1991, when it was besieged and heavily damaged. The city symbolizes resilience and the struggle for independence, with many memorials and a hospital that became a symbol of suffering and recovery. Today, Vukovar is a reminder of the costs of conflict and efforts toward reconciliation and rebuilding in the region.
