Fort Rivoli, Military fortification in Rivoli Veronese, Italy.
The fort stands at 227 meters elevation on Monte Castello, featuring a two-story battery block with cannon galleries in a semicircular formation facing southwest.
Constructed between 1849 and 1852 under Field Marshal Radetzky, the fort was named after Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig von Wohlgemuth who fought against Italian insurgents.
The structure exhibits Austrian military architecture with local Veronese marble construction and houses a museum dedicated to World War I military equipment.
Visitors can access the fort primarily on Sundays to explore its extensive galleries, weapon displays, and observe seventeen original cannon positions.
The fortification incorporates a specialized defensive system with a complementary battery called Batteria Bassa di Rivoli, featuring an eight-meter thick protective wall.
