Fort Beniaminów, Military fortification in Beniaminów, Poland.

The fort features concrete barracks with 20 semi-circular vaulted halls, deep dry moats, and three caponiers connected by underground passageways.

Built in 1904 as part of Warsaw's outer defense ring, the fort ceased construction in 1913 when Russian authorities disbanded the Warsaw Fortress.

During World War I, the fort served as a military prison for Polish Legion soldiers during the political controversy known as the Oath Crisis.

The fort stands 20 kilometers east of Warsaw, with portions currently housing military facilities while other sections contain residential buildings.

The structure includes observation towers on its shoulders and contains an extensive network of underground tunnels connecting different defensive positions.
