The village of Marasti entered history as a result of World War I battles, here being gained the first victories of the Romanian Army in the campaign of 1917. Marasti was occupied by the Austro-Hungarian armies, and for its conquest, the Second Army, led by General Averescu, would destroy it almost entirely. On the first day of the battles - July 9, 1917, General Al. Margineanu, who stormed the enemy lines in Marasti, pledged to restore the village. In a gathering that was held, later, on the front, the creation of the "Marasti" Society was decided; it was aimed to rebuild the village and transform it into one of the most modern rural villages in the interwar Romania. At the entrance to the village, on a portal similar to a triumphal arch the inscription Marasti Historical Field reads.

The Mausoleum is located at North-West from Panciu (about 27 km from it). The monument shelters the remains of the Romanian soldiers fallen in the First World War in the battle of Marasti (during July 1917). The construction, which was initiated in 1928, is designed by architect Pandele Şerbănescu and decorated with bas-reliefs by A. Bordenache. The basement houses the sarcophagi with the bones of the generals Alexandru Averescu, Arthur Văitoianu, Alexandru Mărgineanu, and Nicolae Arghirescu. In the basement there is a small museum in which there were exhibited objects belonging to General Vaitoianu and weapons from the First World War. On the facade of the monument were placed 15 white marble plaques in which the names of regiments and of the soldiers who participated in the battles on these lands are carved.
