Forte Pozzacchio, Military fort in Trambileno, Italy

Forte Pozzacchio spans three levels with underground shelters, artillery positions, and service rooms carved into the mountain at 882 meters above sea level.

The Austrian Empire began constructing this defensive structure in 1912 along the border between Austria-Hungary and Italy before World War I.

The fort serves as an educational center where visitors learn about military engineering and defense strategies from the early twentieth century.

Tours operate every Sunday from late May through mid-October, requiring advance reservations through email or phone for access to the fortress.

The fortress features two rotating steel domes designed for 10cm Howitzers and includes a natural gorge that functions as a protective moat.
