Oslavia War Memorial

The circular tower memorial stands on a hill, featuring three connected bastions and underground passages leading to chambers with inscribed names of fallen soldiers.

The memorial, completed in 1938, contains the remains of 57,201 Italian soldiers and 539 Austro-Hungarian troops who died during the battles of Isonzo.

The names of identified soldiers line the walls of internal circular chambers, while a black marble cross stands at the center of the main tower.

The memorial features a bell named Chiara in the campanile that rings every day at sunset to mark the time of remembrance.

The crypt beneath houses General Achille Papa and twelve recipients of the Gold Medal of Military Valor, marking their exceptional service during World War I.
