Best in the morning between 8 and 10 a.m., when the changing of the guard is accompanied by traditional drums and there is less traffic. Avoid Friday noon, when the surroundings are packed with worshippers from the nearby mosque.

O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Stražijo ga neprekinjeno od leta 1943 in vsako uro poteka slovesna menjava straže ob zvokih bobnov. Marmorni spomenik tehta 45 ton in stoji na mestu, kjer je bilo med državljansko vojno ubitih več kot 300 ljudi, ki so poskušali najti varnost pri italijanski stolnici.
Poudarki: Leta 2013 so lokalni prebivalci ponoči anonimno pri vznožje spomenika postavili 22 sveč kot simbol upanja, stražarji pa so jih pustili goreti do jutra. Še danes se vsak petek zbirajo pri spomeniku matere padlih bojevnikov in pojejo pesmi, ki se dedujejo iz generacije v generacijo.
Notranji nasveti
- Bring a small gift or a flower. Locals appreciate it and it can open the door to authentic storytelling from the guards.
- Photographing the guard up close is allowed, but do not use flash and do not stand directly in front of them during the changing of the guard.
- Wear long trousers and a long-sleeved shirt as a sign of respect, even if it is 40 degrees on the street.
- I recommend arriving 10 minutes before the start of the hour to see the entire changing ceremony from the beginning.
