Fort Vezzena, Military fort in Levico Terme, Italy
Fort Vezzena stretches across the mountain ridge at 1908 meters elevation, featuring four rotating cupules and a network of underground tunnels connecting different sections.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire constructed Fort Vezzena between 1907 and 1914 to protect their southern border against potential Italian military advances.
The fort forms part of a network of military structures along the former Austria-Italy border, demonstrating early 20th-century defensive architecture and engineering methods.
Visitors reach the fort through hiking trails starting at Passo Vezzena, with recent renovations improving site accessibility and adding new observation points.
The structure earned the name 'The Eye of the Plateau' due to its strategic position, enabling surveillance across more than 1300 meters into the valley below.
