The Sacrario Militare dei Caduti d'Oltremare (Military Memorial to the Fallen Overseas) was opened on 10 December 1967 on the outskirts of Bari, on the way to Brindisi. The structure houses the remains of more than 70,000 Italians who died in foreign lands. These lands include Greece, Albania, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Germany and the Mediterranean Sea, in the First and Second World Wars.
The complex resembles a similar shrine in Tripoli and includes a historical museum. This recalls the various stages of the Second World War, and displays numerous military documents, photographs, uniforms, weapons and personal effects. Outside, in the park surrounding the shrine, there are display areas for tanks and artillery. The tanks were moved away in spring 2008; it is believed that this was for restoration, but no details are known (source: M. Foti).
