“石花”（克罗地亚语：Kameni cvijet；塞尔维亚语：Камени цвет，罗马化：Kameni cvet）是一座纪念碑建筑，纪念二战期间南斯拉夫乌斯塔沙政权在亚塞诺瓦茨集中营犯下暴行的受害者，包括塞尔维亚人、罗姆人、犹太人，以及克罗地亚反对政权的异见者。其设计者Bogdan Bogdanović表示，这朵向着天空与太阳舒展的“花”象征着对生命与重生的信念，以及战胜苦难的希望。
2007年，这座纪念碑及亚塞诺瓦茨纪念遗址的设计者获得卡洛·斯卡帕国际奖（Carlo Scarpa International Prize），表彰其在打造保存记忆空间方面的杰出建筑与艺术创作。

Stone Flower (Croatian: Kameni cvijet; Serbian: Камени цвет, Kameni cvet) is a monument to the atrocities perpetrated in the Jasenovac concentration camp by the Ustaša regime during World War II in Yugoslavia: Serbs, Romani people, Jews, and Croatian dissidents of the regime. According to its author, the flower that opens its petals towards the sky and the Sun represents faith in life and rebirth, overcoming suffering.
Designed by Bogdan Bogdanović, the reinforced concrete monument was completed in 1966 on the grounds of the former Camp III (known as the Ciglana). It features a base containing six niches divided by concrete walls, with water basins running along their edges. Rising from this base is a central column that expands into the sculpted form of a flower. Within the niches, six trapezoidal slabs reach toward the upper structure. The monument's crypt is paved with railway sleepers, and on the northern side a bronze plaque bears verses from Ivan Goran Kovačić's war poem Jama.
History
The site of the Jasenovac concentration camp remained without a formal memorial in the years following the end of World War II. It was not until 1952 that an initiative committee was established in Jasenovac to promote the construction of a monument "dedicated to the victims of fascism". The committee proposed the creation of a monumental memorial surrounded by a park. Eight years later, the central committee of the Association of Veterans of the National Liberation War (SUBNOR) launched a closed competition for the design of the memorial complex. Based on the submitted proposals, the concept by architect Bogdan Bogdanović was selected. While preparing his designs, Bogdanović was offered access to extensive archival material related to the camp—including documents, records, photographs of atrocities, and survivor testimonies—but chose not to consult them. Instead, he based the final form of the Flower monument on the idea of purifying the space. He conceived the structure as a symbolic, plant-like form. The exterior symbolism is "reflected in an unseen internal structure, representing a cosmic plant whose crown reaches the skies while its roots extend into the underworld". Bogdanović worked on the monument’s design and the surrounding landscape for nearly four years. Construction began in 1964 under his supervision, with the work carried out by the construction company from Novska.
In 2007, the author of the monument and the Jasenovac memorial site was awarded the Carlo Scarpa International Prize for the best architectural, artistic creation of a space for preserving memories.
