Monte Cassino and the Polish War Graves at Monte
Cassino are closely related. The
monastery Monte Cassino is located at a rocky hill approx.
130 km. southeast of Rome. It's history goes back to approx. year
530. After the Allied World War II landing in southern Italy in 1943
the allied advances was stop at Monte Cassino. The monastery turned
out to be an almost impossible stronghold to conquer, so the "Battle
of Monte Cassino" took a lot of Allied lives - among these a large
number of Polish volunteers.
