Bolzano Victory Monument

The Bolzano Victory Monument is a white marble arch with a central tower and lictorial pillars that rises in the city center. The structure features rationalist architecture and now contains exhibition spaces with historical artifacts inside.

The monument was inaugurated in 1928 and replaced an earlier Austrian memorial that was demolished between 1926 and 1927. Its construction marked a significant moment in the city's history following World War I.

The monument sits in a central location where locals and visitors pass by and observe its form and inscriptions. Its stark design prompts reflection on the region's complex past.

The location is easy to reach and sits centrally in Bolzano, allowing visitors to walk there. Inside there is a permanent exhibition with multimedia presentations that can be explored during your visit.

Inside the monument, LED text displays and sound installations use contemporary technology to interpret historical events in new ways. These modern elements allow different language communities to understand the story from varying perspectives.
