Beautiful memorial in honor of those who fell in both world wars.

Text content of the votive tablets according to the Google translation app:
"The radiant soul of the heroes lights an eternal votive torch for secure peace, the olive tree and the laurel be the gratitude of the homeland, the eternal cult of the Holy Sons....

...To remember the martyrs of freedom..."

Such cenotaphs or war memorials are still very important today as a memorial to the many dead. “Now you, Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said...” it says in the so-called “Song of Simeon” (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny.
Many places and monuments that you encounter along the way are a testament to the horror of war and tyranny - which is still significant and relevant today. They all have, and this is new for each generation, two essential functions:
-1- Commemorate and remember the victims
-2- Call for the preservation of peace
