Austro-Hungarian Ossuary in the Civil Cemetery of Udine

In the civil cemetery of San Vito in Udine there is an ossuary containing the remains of 832 Austro-Hungarian soldiers, many of whom died in the military medical facilities with which the city was dotted during the Great War.

The ossuary consists of a large stone cube topped by a white stone cross about two metres high. The plaque, in German and Italian, simply states that the remains of Austro-Hungarian soldiers are buried here. The ossuary stands at the far end of the cemetery, on the north side of the perimeter wall, a few metres to the right of the main avenue.
