The House of Flowers (Kuća cveća) is the mausoleum of Josip Broz Tito, the former President of Yugoslavia. Located in Belgrade, it's a place of pilgrimage for those who admire Tito and a fascinating historical site for anyone interested in the history of Yugoslavia.

Josip Broz Tito was a pivotal figure in 20th-century history, leading the Partisans during World War II and later becoming the leader of socialist Yugoslavia.
