Tempio della Vittoria, War memorial near Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio, Milan, Italy
The Temple of Victory features an octagonal structure with eight triumphal arches made of white Musso marble and decorated with sculptural groups representing war years.
Inaugurated on November 4, 1928, by Prince Emanuele Filiberto, the memorial underwent restoration after sustaining damage during the 1943 Allied bombings of Milan.
The memorial contains bronze plaques listing ten thousand names of fallen soldiers from both World Wars, with a subterranean crypt housing their remains.
The memorial stands in Largo Agostino Gemelli, accessible via Metro Line 2 at Sant'Ambrogio station or bus line 94 stopping at Via Carducci.
Each of the eight sides aligns with Milan's historical gates, marking the paths soldiers took when departing for war service.
