Military shrine of Pocol, Military cemetery and museum in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
The Military Shrine of Pocol features a 48-meter tower with a two-level base, containing niches for fallen soldiers along internal corridors.
Constructed between 1932 and 1935 under engineer Giovanni Raimondi's direction, the shrine holds remains of 10,554 Italian soldiers from the Dolomitic World War I front.
The shrine includes a fresco by Pio Solero depicting an Alpine soldier watching over a fallen comrade inside the small church built in 1916.
The memorial opens from Tuesday to Sunday, with visiting hours from 09:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:00, located along the road to Falzarego Pass.
A statue of the Lion of Saint Mark, transferred from Piazza Venezia, stands at the memorial's entrance, marking Ampezzo's connection to the Venetian Republic.
