Tasmajdan where many historical events took place is the central city park, beautifully decorated with many amenities for children and young people. Tasmajdan name comes from Turkish word "Tas" - meaning stone and word "Quarry" - meaning mine. Stone had been dug here since the ancient times. The evidence for that are the sarcophags of the Romans inhabitants of the town, who inhabited area 2000 years ago.
The Tasmajdan park was built in 1954. The project for the park was created by architect Aleksandar Djordjevic and Radomir Stupar, a greening plan has made an engineer Vladeta Djordjevic. Area of the Tasmajdan park was also used for the exhibition of sculptures and after many of them were kept there. So today in the park are works such as "Ascender" by Mira Sandic; "The Slide" by sculptor Sava Sandic; "Phlox forma" work of Milija Glisic, "Golden Forest" work of Mira Jurisic, "Lying act" by Angelina Gatalica; "Associative figure" and "Woman sitting" by Ivana Sabolic and "Housing" by Ratko Vulanovic.
