Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, War memorial at Monastery of Batalha, Portugal
The tomb contains two marble sarcophagi within the Chapter House of Batalha Monastery, marked by an eternal flame and military guards.
On April 6, 1921, Portugal interred two unidentified World War I soldiers from the battlefields of Flanders and the African campaign in this memorial.
The memorial represents the national recognition of all Portuguese military personnel who died in combat while serving their country through generations.
Visitors can observe the changing of the guard ceremony and enter the Chapter House daily between 9:00 AM and 6:30 PM.
This Portuguese memorial holds two unknown soldiers instead of one, representing different World War I battlefronts where Portuguese forces fought.
