Mausoleum of Mateiaș, Military mausoleum in Valea Mare Pravăț, Romania
The limestone structure on Mateiaș Hill contains a horizontal ossuary and a vertical tower with a spiral staircase leading to an observation pavilion.
Romanian soldiers from the 22nd and 12th divisions defended this strategic position against German and Austro-Hungarian forces between October and November 1916.
The mausoleum houses 31 crypts containing remains of 2,300 Romanian soldiers and features a 16-meter bas-relief depicting war scenes by sculptor Adrian Radu.
The memorial stands 11 kilometers from Câmpulung on European Route E574, offering visitors multiple exhibition rooms about World War I military operations.
A stone cup made from local Albești limestone holds an eternal flame commemorating the soldiers who protected the Rucăr-Bran passage during World War I.
