Sacrario dei Trecento, Memorial building in Padula, Italy

The Sacrario dei Trecento is a circular memorial hall inside the Church of SS. Annunziata in upper Padula. Along the entrance corridor, the names of the fallen are inscribed on slabs of local Padula stone; a small room beyond holds their remains in glass cases along the walls, and past a short stair are further remains and a small crucifix.

Built in 1957, this memorial honors Carlo Pisacane and his companions who fought against Bourbon rule in the kingdom. Their expedition in 1857 marked a turning point in the struggle for Italian independence in the south.

The names of the fallen revolutionaries are engraved on stone tablets made from local stone, preserving their memory for future generations. These inscriptions form the heart of the memorial and show how the community honors its past.

The shrine is inside the Church of SS. Annunziata, in the upper part of Padula, not beneath it. Visitors enter through the church and pass along a corridor lined with stone tablets before reaching the small room with the glass cases and a short staircase. The space is compact, so groups should move through in small numbers.
