Ossario austro-ungarico dell'Asinara, Military ossuary in Porto Torres, Italy
The Austro-Hungarian ossuary stands at the end of a long staircase on Monte Ruda slopes, featuring four Latin crosses on its facade and bronze lettering.
Built in 1936 following Law 877 of 1931, the ossuary contains the remains of 7,048 Austro-Hungarian prisoners who died at Asinara during World War I.
The interior corridor displays 18 glass cases containing whitewashed bones, with three paintings depicting Saint Stephen, the Madonna, and Saint Joseph.
Located near Stagno Lungo road, the monument remains closed to public access while serving as a memorial site for World War I casualties.
The remains inside belong to soldiers who survived a forced march through Albania but succumbed to cholera and typhoid upon reaching Asinara Island.
