Editing Battle of Solferino (section)

==The battlefield today==
The area contains a number of memorials to the events surrounding the battles.

There is a circular tower, [[Tower of San Martino della Battaglia]], dominating the area, a memorial to Victor Emmanuel II. It is 70 m high and was built in 1893. In the town there is a museum, with uniforms and weapons of the time, and an [[ossuary]] chapel.

At Solferino there is also a museum, displaying arms and mementos of the time, and an ossuary, containing the bones of thousands of victims.

Nearby [[Castiglione delle Stiviere]], where many of the wounded were taken after the battle, is the site of the museum of the International Red Cross, focusing on the events that led to the formation of that organization.
