Roadside shrine

The Roadside shrine in Croatia is a religious monument that can be found along roads and pathways, often in rural areas. These shrines were erected to honor the memory of victims of accidents, commemorate specific incidents, or mark parish boundaries. They typically feature a cross, crucifix, or image of the Virgin Mary, and sometimes include photographs of the victims or personal items. The shrines are becoming extinct, but they remain an important part of Croatia's cultural heritage. The Medjimurje region in northern Croatia is home to many of these roadside shrines, which are often nestled in picturesque landscapes and showcase the region's unique cultural and religious traditions
