Forte Leone, Military fort in Arsiè, Italy.
The fortress stands at 1500 meters elevation on Cima di Campo, featuring six cannon positions, an observation dome, and fortified walls with a moat.
Built between 1906 and 1911 under Captain Antonio Dal Fabbro's direction, this fort protected the Italian border against potential Austro-Hungarian advances.
The fortress represents early 20th-century Italian military architecture and engineering through its strategic positioning and defensive infrastructure design.
Visitors must schedule guided tours in advance by calling +39 3801420535, and reaching the fort requires hiking from the starting points in Belvederi di Tezze.
During the 1917 retreat after Caporetto, soldiers at Forte Leone used stones as projectiles when conventional ammunition was unavailable to protect withdrawing troops.
