The oldest and largest public crucifix in Vukovar gave the name to the entire section of Old City – at the Reveller’s Cross. The crucifix was built in 1805 as a first public crucifix in the city made of stone (earlier ones, from the 18th century, were made of wood). As early as the late 19th century the crucifix was surrounded by an iron fence and miniature trees were growing within. With its scale and rustic craftsmanship the Reveller’s Cross seemed like an example of a public sculpture, even though its class profile and decorations bear a clear classicist mark. The local Serbian government demolished the crucifix in 1996. This monument of great symbolic and ambient value has been reconstructed with facsimile accuracy.

First secondary schools in Vukovar were built near Reveller’s Cross; the Vukovar Grammar School was there from 1891 to 1894, until it moved to the grammar school building that we know today.
