La Foiba di Basovizza
A National Monument, La Foiba di Basovizza marks the spot of executions carried out at the end of World War II. This disused mine shaft long languished as a mostly abandoned and forgotten spot, but today features restored stone walls with memorials and a modern visitor center, where you can learn more about the events that took place here in May 1945. La Foiba di Basovizza is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our , online itinerary creator Edition.

Monument dedicated to those lost during Fascist rule. The unfortunate were killed and thrown into a hole, which is the Foiba. Its currently got a lid on top. It's a sobering place. Small "museum" on site to explain more. Just 15 minutes outside Trieste. Should visit.
-
great dedication to the victims of war...
-
Its sad, and it has a lot of story related, but the monument itself does not worth the visit
-
Very interesting Place. Thanks for trying to keep alive the memory of a recent unknown history
-
Empty place. Everything written just in Italian, nothing in English or other languages (Slovene, Croarian)
