The Tomb of the People's Heroes (Croatian: Grobnica narodnih heroja) is located in Zagreb's central graveyard, Mirogoj. It was designed by the Croatian sculptor Đuro Kavurić and built in 1968. Buried in the tomb are not only the recipients of the Order of the People's Hero, but also some of the most notable workers' movement activists of Croatia and Yugoslavia.[1]

During the night of February 1, 2011, unknown group of vandals activated an explosive in front of the Tomb, which caused serious damage. Some of the Croatia's officials strongly opposed this act of vandalism. The damage has been repaired.[2][3]
