Monument to the Sailor of Italy, War memorial in Brindisi, Italy.
The 53-meter concrete monument takes the shape of a ship's rudder, covered in golden limestone and standing prominently near the harbor.
The monument opened on November 4, 1933, with King Victor Emmanuel III attending the ceremony to honor sailors lost during World War I.
The crypt contains black marble slabs listing 6,850 names of Military and Merchant Navy personnel who died since 1860.
Visitors can access the monument from 10:00 to 16:40, with entrance fees of 3 euros for adults and 1 euro for children aged 11-18.
