Redipuglia is the largest Italian Military Sacrarium. It rises up on the western front of the Monte Sei Busi, which, in the First World War was bitterly fought after because, although it was not very high, from its summit it allowed an ample range of access from the West to the first steps of the Karstic table area.

The mortal remains of 100,187 fallen soldiers lie here, 39,857 of them identified and 60,330 unknown.
