Founded by St. Benedict in 529, this abbey has suffered devastation many times but has been magically recreated.

The abbey is beautiful, not crowded and peaceful. The church is amazing. The views are breathtaking. At one point we even heard chanting faintly from somewhere within the abbey. Stop at the Polish Cemetery on your way in or out, where over 1,000 Polish soldiers under Allied Command are buried, falling to free Italy and the rest of Europe - the graves and monuments are very well done and very moving.

Cassino War Cemetery lies in the Commune of Cassino, Province of Frosinone, 139 kilometres south-east of Rome. The site for CASSINO WAR CEMETERY was originally selected in January 1944, but the development of the battle during the first five months of that year made it impossible to use it until after the Germans had withdrawn from Cassino. During these early months of 1944, Cassino saw some of the fiercest fighting of the Italian campaign, the town itself and the dominating Monastery Hill proving the most stubborn obstacles encountered in the advance towards Rome. The majority of those buried in the war cemetery died in the battles during these months. There are now 4,271 Commonwealth servicemen of the Second World War buried or commemorated at Cassino War Cemetery. 289 of the burials are unidentified. Within the cemetery stands the CASSINO MEMORIAL which commemorates over 4,000 Commonwealth servicemen who took part in the Italian campaign whose graves are not known.

A visit makes one think a lot about what the previous generation did for our freedom. A very beautiful place to remember heroes and to reflect and thank them. A lot of history is displayed and you will learn something you never knew about the war.
