Forte Casa Ratti, Military fort in Arsiero, Italy.

The fortress stands at 350 meters above sea level near Case Ratti settlement, featuring three rotating armored turrets housing 149G cannons.

Built between 1906 and 1908, the fort served as a defense point against Austro-Hungarian forces until its abandonment by Italian troops in May 1916.

The fort represents early 20th-century military engineering in Italy through its design, which included four 87B cannons and three machine guns.

Visitors can reach the fort from Arsiero by following the Valdastico state road and continuing on a pedestrian path that leads directly to the site.

The Austro-Hungarians found the fort nearly intact as Italian forces failed to detonate the explosive charges during their retreat in 1916.
