Montecassino Abbey
|
The Montecassino Abbey was built in 530 AD and is one of the most historic sights in the region of Lazio.
Its fame comes not just from its architectural significance or from its longevity, but from its role in World War Two when, it was the focus of the bloody Battle of Montecassino which raged for four months from the 17th January until the 19th May 1944. |
