Description
Among the most important monuments in Europe, The First World War Heroes Mausoleum from Marasesti distinguishes itself as well. It is a monument built in the memory of those who fought during The First World War, when, although inferior numerically to the German troops, the Romanian army succeeded in blocking the German attack. 480 Romanian military officers and more than 21000 Romanian soldiers paid the ultimate price for this victory. The soldiers that died that day were buried in landowner Ulise Negropontes vineyards, and later, in 1924, they were inhumed again in the crypts of the future monument, under Queen Maria's watch. 5073 soldiers and military officers are buried in 163 crypts (154 individual crypts and 9 common crypts), crypts that are situated in 18 corridors.
It is said that The Mausoleum from Marasesti caught even Adolph Hitler's attention, because he asked marshal Antonescu to send at Marasesti two anti-aircraft subunits to defend the monument, while Prahova Valley was attacked by the allies' aircraft and Moldavia was threatened as well.
Please note that the FINE ART AMERICA watermark will not appear on the final print! :)
