1. Monument To The Revolution – Podgarić, Croatia

Star Wars fans, eat your heart out, because this is not only one of the most bizarre Communist relics still around today, but it also has an uncanny resemblance to the Galactic Empire’s TIE fighter spaceships. But here’s the catch: this wacky sculpture was built a full decade before Star Wars even existed!

Located in present-day Croatia, this monument is dedicated to the resistance of the local Yugoslav partisans who fought against the Germans and their collaborators during World War II, and successfully defeated them. While it’s absolutely unforgettable, one has to ask: what exactly about this baffling structure hints at its meaning?
