Immersed in a magnificent natural context, Torino di Sangro is also a locality of great historic and architectural value, a favoured destination in recent years for numerous tourists and travellers. On the hill next to the centre of the town is located the British military cemetery known as the “Sangro River War Cemetery”. In this place, designed by the French Architect Louis de Soissons, lie the bodies of over 2600 soldiers from the British Commonwealth who had fallen during the Second World War: many of whom perished in the battles of the so-called Gustav line, near the Sangro river. The cemetery has a curved entrance with a portico and is composed of a series of sectors that flow visually to the centre of the Piazza at the entrance, paved with stone  slabs laid in geometric figures. The tombs are made up of marble stones laid out in the shape of a semicircular crown. A path flanked by magnolia trees leads to the cross, while another passage flanked by hawthorn bushes leads to the Remembrance stone.
