Forte Chievo, Military fort in Chievo, Verona, Italy.
The fort features polygonal architecture with ashlar masonry walls constructed from local nummulitic limestone, forming a strategic defensive position north of Verona.
Built between 1850 and 1852 under the direction of Petrasch Conrad, the fort was named Werk Kaiser Franz Josef to honor the young Habsburg emperor.
The fort represents a prime example of neoclassical military architecture that influenced subsequent fortification designs throughout the Habsburg Empire during the 19th century.
Located 4 kilometers from Verona's center, the fort overlooks the Adige river and maintains its structural integrity for visitors interested in military history.
The fort controlled multiple strategic points simultaneously: the routes to Pescantina and Peschiera, the Adige river loop, and the railroad toward Bolzano.
