Milan Rastislav Štefánik (1880-1919) was a general of the French Army, Slovak politician, diplomat and astronomer, one of creators of independent Czechoslovakia. He died in a mysterious plane crash in May 1919 when returning from Italy to his homeland. He was buried together with his Italian crew on the Bradlo hill right above his birthplace, Košariska. A few years later a monumental travertine memorial by Dušan Jurkovič was erected.
