Tempio Ossario, Catholic memorial temple in Bassano del Grappa, Italy
The Tempio Ossario features a Latin cross layout with three naves, measuring 75 meters in length and rising 43 meters beneath an octagonal dome.
Construction of this memorial temple started in 1908, paused during World War I, and transformed from a planned cathedral into a military shrine completed in 1934.
The temple houses the remains of 5,405 identified Italian soldiers who died during World War I, including four officers awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valor.
Visitors can access the temple throughout the year, while each evening at 7:30 PM, the bells ring forty times to honor war casualties.
The temple contains 4,418 burials in the nave loculi and 1,073 in the crypt, with all soldiers arranged alphabetically and individually identified.
