Platičevo: Memorial Sites, Church and How to Get There

• A monument to fallen fighters and victims of fascist terror stands in the centre.
• Monuments to Milivoje Petković–Fećko and Stevan Janić stand in the village cemetery.
• The Church of Blažene Djevice Kraljice od Krunice is at the entrance to the village, on Vladimira Nazora Street.
• The railway station is on the Ruma–Šabac railway line; the M-21 highway runs through the western part of the village.

The memorial sites offer different points of emphasis. A monument in the centre of Platičevo commemorates fallen fighters and victims of fascist terror. Two more monuments in the village cemetery are dedicated to Milivoje Petković–Fećko and Stevan Janić. This distinction is useful for culturally minded travellers: the central monument represents a broader act of remembrance, while the cemetery monuments focus on two people identified by name.

The Roman Catholic Church of Blažene Djevice Kraljice od Krunice is another point of interest. It is at the entrance to Platičevo, on Vladimira Nazora Street. The street name and location provide a specific reference point for finding your way around. The monument, village cemetery and church can be considered as separate cultural interests. Those interested in commemorative culture will find a different focus here than at the church; both are among the named points of interest for planning a trip.

A church notice from 2023 gives the first Sunday in October as the recurring date of the church and village festival “Kraljica svete Krunice”, also known as “Sveta Rožalija”. If you would like to plan your trip around the festival, check the programme for the relevant year beforehand. This lets you take the stated recurring date into account without assuming that a specific year’s programme will be the same.

The two names are useful when looking for information about the celebration: “Kraljica svete Krunice” and “Sveta Rožalija” refer to the same church and village festival. If the festival is part of your stay, the date and that year’s programme therefore go together. If you would rather explore the village’s cultural interests independently of the festival, the central monument, cemetery monuments and church offer different points of interest.

Platičevo railway station is on the Ruma–Šabac railway line. By contrast, the M-21 highway runs through the western part of the village and connects Sremska Mitrovica and Šabac. For orientation, it is helpful to consider these details separately: Ruma appears in the name of the railway line, Sremska Mitrovica in the description of the road, and Šabac in both transport links.

The station’s location on a railway line does not, by itself, provide information about the current timetable. If you are considering travelling by train, check passenger services and connections for your travel date before setting off. The M-21 is the road link described as running through the western part of Platičevo; the railway line and road are separate details, not an indication that they share a route. This allows you to plan your journey around your actual mode of transport rather than treating the two route names as interchangeable.

The “Karakuša” hunting ground extends across the cadastral area of Platičevo. If hunting arrangements are relevant to your trip, check the current conditions in advance, as they may change. The hunting ground adds an interest distinct from the memorial sites, church and transport links.
