Cassino German Military Cemetery, Military cemetery in Caira, Cassino, Italy.
The Cassino German Military Cemetery extends across multiple elliptical terraces marked by limestone walls and contains 20,027 individual graves.
The cemetery was established in 1959 following an agreement between German and Italian authorities to reinter soldiers who died during World War II.
Each grave features a travertine cross with engravings displaying the name, birth date, rank, and death date of the German soldiers.
The cemetery sits 3 kilometers north of Cassino town, accessible through a wide walkway that leads visitors up the slope to the entrance building.
An 11-meter bronze cross stands at the hilltop, accompanied by a lamp from Pope Paul VI enclosed in iron housing atop a stone pedestal.
