Beautiful church that suits Den Burg. With next to a real graveyard.

Vanessa Symalla (3 years ago)
Functionally designed building with no particular artistic or architectural value. Electrics mostly out of date. No or hardly any sockets and no public wifi available. Lamps do not meet modern energy saving standards. Ceiling significantly too high, so heating costs have to be immense. Not up-to-date!

This is our church where we feel at home

A pinned aunt who wants to take away € 2.50 "entrance fee" immediately upon arrival. And in a hospice. Outrageous, what a degeneration.

Redipuglia World War I Memorial

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 monumental staircase on which the remains of one hundred thousand fallen soldiers are lined up and which has at its base the monolith of the Duke of Aosta, who was the commanding officer of the third Brigade, and gives an image of a military grouping in the field of a Great Unity with its Commanding Officer at the front. The mortal remains of 100,187 fallen soldiers lie here, 39,857 of them identified and 60,330 unknown.
