Tito's Mausoleum, also known as the Flower House, is also a museum. The surroundings are quite nice, with tall trees and an elegant atmosphere. The museum displays some of Tito's personal belongings. Tito's name, birthdate, and death dates are engraved on the mausoleum. There are also two statues of Tito! I highly recommend visiting Tito's Mausoleum!
