The site consists of an elevated memorial and the surrounding Kosovo Polje area where people come for remembrance ceremonies and to view the battlefield plain. The location is visited mainly for its historical association and for annual commemorative events rather than for built attractions.

Gazimestan sits on the plain known as Kosovo Polje (the Field of Blackbirds) in central Kosovo/Serbia, within the administrative Central Serbia area supplied. The landscape is a broad agricultural plain with the memorial on a raised spot overlooking the field.
- Vidovdan commemorations: Annual gatherings are held each 28 June (Vidovdan) to commemorate the 1389 Battle of Kosovo; the site is a focal point for Serbian national remembrance.
