Douamont Ossuary - On the 137m-long facade, the shields of each town or city having helped built the ossuary can be seen. Its 46m-high tower overlooks the entire battlefield. The cloister consists of 22 cavities each containing 46 granite graves. Each grave represents a sector of the battlefield and contains the reains found in this sector.
