The sculpture dedicated to Fra Aleksandar Ribičić in Zaostrog pays tribute to the spiritual and cultural legacy of the Franciscan tradition that has shaped the life of this coastal town for centuries. As a Franciscan, Ribičić symbolizes a commitment to community, education, and the preservation of values ​​that transcend time, and his image in public space becomes a permanent reminder of the role of spiritual leaders in everyday life.

Located in an environment strongly associated with the Franciscan monastery and its rich history, the monument acts as a place of silence and contemplation. Through its simple, dignified form, the sculpture conveys a message of humility, knowledge and service to others. At the same time, it connects the past and the present, preserving the memory of a person whose work left a deep mark on the local community and the wider cultural space.
