Constantine the Great Cross
General information
Type Observation
Location Niš, Serbia
Height 80 m (260 ft)

The Constantine the Great Cross was a planned project of a tourist complex on Vinik hill near Niš, Serbia. It would have included a monumental cross, museum, hotel, amphitheatre and cinema, on 13 hectares of land. The cross would have been the largest in Europe. The cross, dedicated to Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, was planned to be the centre piece of the Ecumenical Assembly, in honour of the 1700th anniversary of Constantine's Edict of Milan, which the city of Niš hosted in 2013. In 2012, the project had not started, although the Serbian Orthodox Church had ceded land to the City of Niš for the construction. The problem lay in that the city government and owners of land between Vinik and Niš had failed to reach agreement on building roads to the complex.[1]
