The shrine was built between 1935 and 1938 on

First World War without ever being defeated on the battlefield.[10]
The shrine, built on the side of the hill, consists of 22 horizontal platforms of
nurse who died in 1918 while assisting soldiers sick with Spanish flu.[5][11][6][7][8][9] The cemetery once had reliefs of Fasces
at the base.
The hill opposite, the Colle di Sant'Elia, was formerly the site of the war cemetery of the Third Army. It has been turned into a memorial park, with
artillery pieces. A museum with war relics, reconstructions and panels about the history of the Third Army and the battles of the Isonzo is located between Monte Sei Busi and the Colle di Sant'Elia.[5][6][7][8][9]
