Tempio della Pace, Memorial tomb in Padua, Italy.
The Tempio della Pace exhibits Romanesque Revival design elements with rounded arches and robust stone construction near Padua's train station.
Construction started in 1920 following local residents' vow during the Battle of Caporetto in 1917 to build a church if warfare stayed away from Padua.
The interior atrium contains thousands of remains from World War I and II, making it a central location for remembrance ceremonies in the region.
Visitors can explore the main temple structure along with two adjacent small chapels dedicated to Mary and Saint Anthony throughout the year.
The government provided funds to complete the building in 1934 under the condition that it would function as both a church and military ossuary.
