Luogo spesso tralasciato o ignorato dai turisti, per via della posizione un pò lontana dal centro. Uno dei 4 (o 5, non ricordo precisamente) campi di concentramento in italia, sicuramente il più importante, in quanto è l'unico ad aver avuto un forno crematorio al suo interno, e ad essere utilizzato quindi anche come campo di sterminio. Utilizzato dal Reich, dal 1943, come snodo per il controllo della regione Adriatica (che comprendeva il friuli e alcune zone limitrofe oggi parte della serbia e croazia, in particolare l'Istria e la Dalmazia), come campo di detenzione e (in misura minore) di sterminio di dissidenti politici e oppositori, e come punto di raccolta degli ebrei delle regioni limitofe che venivano poi deportati in campi più grandi in Germania o in Polonia (soltanto 20 ebrei vennero uccisi in questo campo). L'edificio é stato poi ripreso e modificato, abbattendone alcune parti, lasciando però intatte alcune delle sale principali che testimoniano come questo campo venisse utilizzato dai nazisti: in particolare si trovano le celle di detenzione e la cella della morte, dove alloggiavano i condannati a morte prossimi all'esecuzione. Nell'edificio centrale è allestito un piccolo ma interessante museo, che racconta in modo dettagliato la storia di questo campo e della regione adriatica durante l'occupazione nazista. Decisamente da visitare. N.B. Non sono ammessi i cani, come giusto che sia in un luogo simile. Evitate di mettere 1 stella solo perché volete portare a spasso il cane, come qualcuno ha ben pensato di fare qui sotto.

Be prepared to bring handkerchiefs whit you because this place not will let your eyes stay dry. Free entry to the monument which guides you through the madness and horror of the nazi activity. There is a museum part and you can walk around I different parts of the former "police retention camp". Items, journals, weapons, testimonials and buildings remembers what can happen if madness prevails instead of common humanity. There is a monument of the former chimney of the crematorium.

An unexpected little gem. Another sad point of reflection on WW2, and how grim it must have been. It's not a very big museum and there is a lot of reading. For me the map of the transition locations across Germany shows the systematic scale of the operation that was being undertaken. In spite of being close to the town, people did not realise what was going on until late in the war. Entry is free, but a donation is welcome.

This is a less known, yet very important site to visit. A remarkable monument of an era that should not be forgotten. For 2 euros only you can buy an audio guide which I really recommend to do so, as otherwise you won't understand what to look at and you won't have all the background information. If you get there by car the most convenient is to park at the supermarket's parking lot nearby.

If you are in to WWII history, it's a must see. One of the only Nazi concentration camps in Italy, it was active until the Nazis moved out and blew up the evidence. There are heart breaking stories associated with the prisoners there, just like all of the camps. Made two of our kids cry. Which isn't hard for those two tender souls.

Overall it’s okay, and I would visit if you are in the area. But don’t expect the same kind of introspection you get at Auschwitz or Dachau. It seems much of the sites history was lost after the war either intentionally or not. I also don’t remember seeing an image of Mussolini or his name anywhere within the memorial.
