Sacrario incompiuto, Military memorial on Col Pion hill in Pinzano al Tagliamento, Italy
The unfinished military memorial stands on Col Pion hill, featuring large stone columns weighing 18 tons and measuring approximately 6.4 meters in height.
The German government commissioned architect Robert Tischler in 1937 to design a mausoleum intended to house the remains of 30,000 German and Austrian soldiers from World War I.
Students from Pinzano and Ragogna schools regularly visit the memorial to learn about World War I through educational programs and guided tours.
The memorial requires visitors to walk uphill through paths to reach its location, which offers views over the Tagliamento river and surrounding region.
In 1938, builders constructed a full-scale wooden model of the mausoleum using wood and reeds to evaluate the final appearance before starting stone construction.
