Kosovo Field (cyrillic: Косово Поље- "field of blackbirds") is a field in central Kosovo and Metohija,Serbia, some 5 km (3 mi) northwest from Pristina, at the confluence of the rivers Lab and Sitnica, and which supposedly is the site of the Battle of Kosovo, which took place in 1389. Eponymous of the field are the Ottoman Kosovo Province, and the town of Kosovo Polje (some 6 km/4 mi to the southwest of the monument). The Kosovo Field is traversed by the main road across Kosovo and Metohija(Skopje-Kraljevo), the monument is some 500 m (1,640 ft) off the road to the east.
Gazimestan is the name of a monument to the battle, situated a few km to the southeast of the Kosovo Polje field, situated on a hill rising some 50 m (164 ft) above the plain. It was built in 1953 under the authority of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, in the shape of medieval tower designed by Aleksandar Deroko.
The name is from Turkish gazi ("hero"), ultimately from Arabic ghazi ("warrior"). The name Gazimestan could also be derived from the Serbian words gaziti ("walk") and mesto ("place").
