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.

Here is the last of the 14 stations of the Cross by the road leading to the ossuary.

There are some graves even on the outside of the walls.

I hope you learned something new today on steemit.

Stick around for more, my friends.
