| Monument to the fallen of the Great War. Designed by the architect Giovanni Greppi and the sculptor Giannino Castiglioni, it was inaugurated in 1935. The shrine consists of a series of semicircular steps that develop on a slope. Characteristic of the shrine is the columbarium motif together with the use of stone and bronze for the closures of the niches destined to house the bodies of the fallen. The shrine contains the remains of 22,950 Italian and autroungaric soldiers. |
| The so-called Via Eroica is 300 meters long, with the 14 large cippuses on the side bearing the names of the war theater peaks. |
 |
| At the center of the Italian ossuary is the shrine of the Madonna del Grappa. |
