Polish Cemetery at Monte Cassino, Military cemetery near Monte Cassino Abbey, Italy
White tombstones line the slopes between Point 445 and Monte Cassino Abbey, creating a memorial space for fallen Polish soldiers.
The cemetery holds 1,072 Polish soldiers who died during the Battle of Monte Cassino in May 1944 while capturing the strategic monastery.
Three different headstone designs reflect the religious diversity of the fallen: Roman Catholic crosses, Eastern Orthodox crosses, and Stars of David.
Located at Str. Obelisco in Cassino, the cemetery welcomes visitors who can explore the grounds and read information panels about the battle.
General Wladyslaw Anders, commander of the Polish forces at Monte Cassino, requested his ashes be interred among his soldiers after his death.
