Eksjö Church

Eksjö, Sweden

Eksjö Church was built in the later part of the 19th century to the designs of architect J. F. Åbom. Much of the inventory was retained from the earlier church that stood on the site, whose structure is partly incorporated. The altarpiece and pulpit are both 17th century works. The organ facade dates from the 18th century. The church is a popular venue for organ recitals. It stands in the heart of the town.

Eksjö Church is a nice white church building. Located by the main square on the other side of the City Hotel. The bell tower appears from afar. The special design of the back appealed to me a lot and nice trees adorn the little place around the church. There is a memorial stone on one side and a handicap ramp.

A church right in the middle of Eksjö. Has bells and a clock that ring alot. One of Eksjös attractions. I usually go there with the school as it is spacious and can hold a huge number of people. Very beautiful and big on the inside. It is not cold in there either. Maybe a bit old but it surely gives you the feeling of antiquity.

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.
