Forte Azzano

The fort features a central structure with two floors, a perimeter gallery with embrasures for riflemen, and two arched portals leading to an internal courtyard.

Engineers of the Imperial Royal Fortification Office of Verona constructed this military stronghold between 1860 and 1861 as part of the city's defense network.

The fort represents nineteenth-century military engineering methods through its strategic position, construction materials, and defensive features alongside other fortifications in Verona.

The structure housed 300 infantry soldiers and 68 artillerymen during regular operations, with capacity for 400 additional troops in emergency situations.

The fort's original armament included five 9-centimeter cannons, three 9.5-centimeter cannons, and twenty-two additional cannons of various calibers for defensive operations.
