Čavoglave is a village in Croatia. It has a population of 300.[1] It is part of the Ružić municipality, in Šibenik-Knin County.
During the Croatian War of Independence in 1991, Čavoglave became well-known because of the band Thompson's song Bojna Čavoglave. The band's leader, Marko Perković, was born there. He built a "Church of Croatian Martyrs" in Čavoglave, as a memorial for Croatian Army soldiers and civilians who died during the Croatian War of Independence.[2] There is an annual fund raising concert in honor of Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day in Čavoglave. Thousands of people visit the concert every year.[3] The 2011 Croatian census said that the village had 300 people. 100% of them were Croatian and Roman Catholic.[1]
