About this cemetery
This First World War ossuary stands at 1,535 metres near the Falzarego Pass, at Pocol close to Cortina d'Ampezzo. It was designed by the engineer Giovanni Raimondi, finished in 1935, and consists mainly of a massive tower. Italian soldiers who fell in the war are buried here, with a sepulchral monument known as the 'Fante Morto' in the crypt. The outer terraces also hold the remains of 842 German soldiers of the Second World War.
