This building became the site of the only extermination camp in Italy with the German occupation in 1943. It has been a national monument since 1965. 3000 to 5000 people lost their lives here. At the end of the war the building was partially destroyed by fleeing Nazis, trying to eliminate proof of the horrors they committed. Restored in 1975, this is a frightening place to visit; the death cells are open to visit as well as 17 detention cells, and a historic, photographic exhibition. Do not miss out on a visit.

A Nazi prison camp in early 1900s, Museo della Risiera di San Sabba was not everyones idea of comfort and luxury. The detention camp used to be a hell hole responsible for the removal of hostages, partisans, political prisoners and Jews. Now redesigned into the museum that it is today, the place houses artifacts and souvenirs that are a reminiscence of the hostage situation back then. Check website for schedules and head for a guided tour to explore this bleak museum.
