What see
Base of the Shrine
- 1 Military memorial. Monumental military cemetery built in the Fascist era and dedicated to the memory of over 100,000 Italian soldiers who died during the First World War. The monument is the centerpiece of a commemorative park of over 100 hectares that includes a part of the Gorizia-Monfalconese Karst, the scene of very hard battles during the Great War (battles of the Isonzo). The enormous size and the large area involved in the park of memory make it the largest military shrine in Italy and one of the largest in the world.
- Every 4th November, in the presence of the President of the Senate, replacing the President of the Republic simultaneously engaged in celebrations similar to the Altare della Patria, the shrine serves as a place of commemoration for all the 689,000 soldiers who died during the First World War. The large stone staircase that forms the Redipuglia shrine is located directly in front of the Sant'Elia hill, site of the previous war cemetery whose remains were moved to the current monumental shrine. The whole area has been converted into a park of "remembrance" or "remembrance": tunnels, trenches, craters, unexploded ammunition and machine gun nests have been preserved on the site as a reminder of the war.
- The monumental memorial was designed by a working group chaired by the architect Giovanni Greppi and the sculptor Giannino Castiglioni. The works began in 1935 with an enormous use of men and means that after 3 uninterrupted years of work allowed the inauguration of the monument on September 18, 1938 in the presence of Mussolini and more than 50,000 veterans of the Great War. The monument from birth was administered by the Ministry of Defense, specifically by the General Commissariat for Honors to the Fallen
- 2 Remembrance Park. It was born in 1923 on Colle Sant'Elia as the "Cimitero degli Invitti" of the Third Army, the first monumental shrine in the area for the fallen of the Great War. It underwent heavy transformations in the 1930s up to the current structure (the bodies were moved to the adjacent shrine).
- Austro-Hungarian cemetery. It collects the bodies of 14,550 soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army, coming from the various disused war cemeteries. In addition to unknown soldiers, there are 2,550 known soldiers, remembered with small cement stones on which there is a plaque showing their identity.
- 3 Regia station of Redipuglia. The Redipuglia station is a railway station located on the railway line Udine-Trieste. Since 15 December 2013, no passenger train has stopped (except in exceptional cases in relation to the military shrine), however the plant is kept in operation for service needs. The importance of the building is due to the fact that it constitutes an example of the architectural current called rationalist. Inaugurated on November 4, 1936, it is located a few tens of meters from the equally monumental military memorial. There is also an electrical substation, connected to the tracks coming from the airport.
