The monument to the Carnic Porters in Timau pays tribute to the women who supplied the soldiers with food and military equipment on the Alpine Front. It shows a scene when Maria Plozner Mentil was shot to death by an Austrian sniper on 15 February 1916. Two porters are holding Maria, a third one is pointing to the sniper’s direction. The monument was erected in 1992 on the initiative of the Municipality of Paluzza and created by the sculptor Antonio Tinaglia.
The monument stands next to the church on Via Nazionale (SS52bis). Near the monument there is also World War I museum The Carnic Zone during the Great War 1915‒1918.
