Dare War Memorial stands in the cooler hills above Dili and recalls the Timorese civilians and Allied soldiers caught up in the World War II fighting on the island. The location gives the memorial a strong setting, looking back toward the capital and coast rather than sitting in the urban center.
It is a sober stop, not a large museum. The value is in connecting the landscape around Dili with the guerrilla campaign and the cost borne by local communities. Combine it with a drive into the hills when visibility is good.
