El Alamein Italian Military Memorial, Military cemetery in El Alamein, Egypt
The memorial consists of white stone structures arranged in geometric patterns, featuring rows of marble headstones marking the final resting place of Italian soldiers.
Built in 1954, this memorial honors over 4,800 Italian military personnel who died during the North African campaign of World War II.
The memorial incorporates traditional Italian commemorative architecture with adaptations for the desert environment, including protective walls against sand drift.
Visitors can access the memorial daily through marked pathways, with guided tours available to explain the military significance of the El Alamein region.
Each headstone bears either the name of a fallen soldier or the inscription 'IGNOTO', indicating an unidentified serviceman.
