This thesis deals with the culture of memory in the area of Gorski Kotar, which has always been isolated from the rest of the country. The work includes the built cultural heritage in honor of the National Liberation Struggle by which manifests the collective memory of the people of this area. The first part of the work includes cultural heritage divided into categories of realistic monuments, modernist and authentic monuments or sites of memory, idea that was popularized by the French historian Pierre Nora. In addition, the work also includes the transformation of memories that occurred after the nineties with the change of government. These changes will be analyzed in the changes of street names, places, local schools, as well as the names of the memorials. With these changes, came a destruction of monuments of the National Liberation Struggle, and therefore an attempt to forget the memories of wartime. What has always been interesting for this area, is the harmonious and peaceful life of inhabitants of Croatian and Serbian nationality. The work will explore what has contributed to this, as why there has been no outbreak of the Homeland War in this area, although the conditions were perfect for it. The last part will describe monuments built after the war.
