In Feltre, nestled in greenery, stands the German cemetery that holds the remains of German soldiers from the First World War. The San Paolo cemetery is located on the outskirts of Feltre and impresses with its harmonious simplicity; the gravestones are crosses, and each cross represents a soldier. Surrounded by the stunning nature that envelops the town of Feltre, the German Cemetery of San Paolo is the final resting place of 273 Bavarian Alpenkorps soldiers who died in the area during the battles on Monte Grappa. This memorial space was established in 1939, shortly after the nearby Mausoleum of Quero.

 The entrance building, made of limestone and accessed via a staircase, is situated at the top of a gentle slope. Inside the cemetery, a small portico attached to the entrance houses a plaque with the names of the fallen who rest there.

It is a simple green area, enclosed by a low brick wall, upon which 273 red porphyry crosses have been arranged neatly. To access it, one must pass through the small church of San Paolo, dating back to the 16th century, where a plaque lists the names of those who rest in the cemetery.

The cemetery owes its unique character to the hilly landscape that surrounds it, visible beyond the low surrounding wall.
