“The Abbey of Monte Cassino and its War cemeteries is often a day of remembrance for the many people who visit this area.”
The Benedictine Abbey was rebuilt after it was bombed to the ground by the Allies during the last World War in a battle against German troops. It is superbly positioned on top of Monte Cassino. The Abbey is only opened to the public for half a day, and with its spectacular views, and priceless treasures this is a great opportunity to see the Benedictine order of monks going about their daily routines.
In this area, you can also find a Commonwealth War Cemetery as well as a Polish War Cemetery, in these, lies the bodies of young men who lost their lives to the battle of Monte Cassino, and anyone visiting will certainly have brought home to them the sadness as well as the futility of war.
The War Graves Commission looks after the Commonwealth War Cemetery, and anyone looking for a particular plot will find that it is very easy to track down names.
