The Shrine is a monumental structure, resembling a severe and robust fortress, consisting of a large central tower with a crypt beneath it and three lateral towers with underlying crypts located at the vertices of a triangle. The four towers are connected internally by underground tunnels.

Built in 1938 based on a design by Roman architect Ghino Venturi, it houses the remains of Italian and Austro-Hungarian fallen soldiers, all exhumed from war cemeteries scattered from the Bainsizza Plateau to the Vipava Valley. The burial niches of the known fallen are arranged along the walls of the three tiers of galleries within the central tower, as well as along the interior walls of the side towers. The unknown fallen are collectively interred in three large ossuaries in the center of the side towers. A large dark marble cross stands in the center of the central tower. In the crypt below, a marble sarcophagus located in the center of the central tower holds the remains of 13 fallen soldiers, each awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valor. Next to the marble sarcophagus is an artistic bronze tripod supporting a polished stone from the Holy Mountain and the Lamp of Fraternity, which provides perpetual light.

The Shrine will be open until October 31st from Monday to Friday from 9am to 1pm and from 1.30pm to 4pm, and on Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 12.30pm and from 1.30pm to 6pm.
