  • 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)
