battle sites
Where wars happened
Battle sites are locations where military engagements occurred, preserved or studied for their historical significance.
The term appears most often in heritage tourism and military history: We visited Civil War battle sites across Virginia.
A battle site may be formally designated as a battlefield monument or simply remembered by locals.
