The Pobednik (The Victor) monument was set up in the Upper Town of Belgrade Fortress in Belgrade, built to commemorate Serbia's victory over Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empire during the Balkan Wars and the First World War. Built in 1928 and standing at 14 meters high, it is one of the most famous works of Ivan Mestrovic. It is also one of the most visited tourist attractions in Belgrade and the city's most recognizable landmark. It is a standing bronze male figure with a falcon in the left hand and a sword in the right, modeled by the sculptor Ivan Mestrovic, set on a pedestal in the form of a Doric column on a tall cubic base, designed by the architect Petar Bajalovic. The statue looks forward across the confluence of the Sava and the Danube, and over the vast Pannonian plain, towards the very distant Fruska Gora mountain, towards the (at the time), Austro-Hungarian empire, it is probably the most powerful, most popular visual symbol of Belgrade.
