The monument, made of Istrian stone, consists of eight fluted columns, atop imposing stairs. The base is decorated with helmets and swords, which symbolize defense and offense. A small altar lies in the center.

“You, most blessed of all,
who each offered yourself to the enemy lance,
for love of her who gave you to the light”
