St. Anton Ossuary
This morning I visited the historic place in town called Kobarid.
On the hill by the town, there is a church from 17 century which Italians renovated and transformed into a charnel house.
They collect the bones of more than 7000 fallen soldiers on the Soca front in the world war one.
The church on the top of the hill.
Here is the last of the 14 stations of the Cross by the road leading to the ossuary.
The impressive stone staircase.
Inside the St.Anton's church.
There are some graves even on the outside of the walls.
My poor artistic photo attempt.
Part of Kobarid.
A small war museum by the ossuary.
The Monument from the different angle.
I hope you learned something new today on steemit.
Stick around for more, my friends.
Thank you for posting @oldtimer.
A visit to these memorials/museums can be such a poignant moment and in this case made all the more so by its imposing enviorment. So sombre and yet a benefitting resting place for these noble ones.
Amazing photographs.
Greetings to you and your good lady. ^__^
Did I see you over at Whaleshares?
Cheers!
Thanks for stopping by.
I can't find enough time even for steemit. Unfortunately.
Amazing photos thanks for sharing:)
That’s a very powerful monument ! The surrounding is astonishing.

Excellent photography my friend. You clicked right angle. Very good.
This is one of the nicest churches I have seen.
It is so beautiful and the place where it is built is just perfect.
I love this little town and would definitely love to visit one day.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful town with us.
Interesting monument! Are the bones stored in the church? Is there any memorial that you can visit? Or is the monument actually The Memorial?
The last photo is great! It's settled in a beautiful landscape..
Thank you for sharing!
the bones are stored behind the dark lime plates with engraved names. They're well seen in the last photo.
