Ossario di Custoza, Military ossuary and museum in Custoza, Italy
The octagonal memorial tower rises 40 meters high on Belvedere Hill, featuring four main sides and four secondary ones topped by an obelisk.
The structure, designed by architect Giacomo Franco through a national competition in 1877, opened in 1879 to house remains from the 1848 and 1866 battles.
The monument contains a chapel with an altar, while the crypt beneath preserves the remains of 1894 soldiers from both Italian and Austrian forces.
Visitors can access guided tours on weekends, with reduced prices for ages 6-18 and free entry for children under 5 and persons with disabilities.
The upper level contains a balustraded loggia offering views from the Adige Valley to the Po Plain, with multimedia exhibits in the adjacent building.
