Mausoleum of Mărășești, War memorial mausoleum in Mărășești, Romania.

The mausoleum features an octagonal structure with multiple terraces, rising 60 meters with a round turret and a cross adorned with four eagles at its summit.

King Carol II inaugurated the monument in 1938, following 15 years of construction to commemorate 5,073 Romanian soldiers who perished during the Battle of Mărășești in 1917.

The Dome of Glory displays battle scenes carved in stone by sculptors Ion Jalea and Corneliu Medrea, depicting the valor of Romanian forces during World War I.

The memorial complex includes a museum built in 1987 that exhibits military uniforms, weapons, and personal items belonging to soldiers who fought in the battle.
