Outline of the place:
Built on the northeastern summit of Montello, the Italian Military Shrine is the final resting place for approximately 9,000 soldiers.
Its quadrangle shape, massive and imposing, celebrates, not without rhetoric, the brave resistance of the Italian army.
The panorama of the battlefield can be contemplated from the balconies, with the Piave that flows in the plains passing between the Montello and the hills of Susegana, interrupted only by the bridges of Priula. Artillery from the epoch crown the square in front of the entrance and an important museum inside the shrine adds knowledge to the emotions transmitted by the long and silent list of names.

Not to be missed:
S.Croce di Nervesa della Battaglia / Monumento ai Ragazzi del '99 (Monument to the Boys of 1899).
At a short distance from the church of Santa Croce del Montello, walking up towards the montelliana dorsal, hidden between the curtain of cypresses, visitors will find the monument to “the boys of ‘99”, the 18-year-old boys called up by the army at the end of 1917. The post-bellical rhetoric is closely linked to their experience of war. The nearby bell tower tolls the hour with the notes of “Legends of Piave”, the most famous and emotional battle hymn of World War I.
