Przemyśl Fort I "Salis-Soglio"

Fort I Salis-Soglio features a pentagonal design with four courtyards, concrete walls, and multiple defensive structures including artillery positions and ammunition storage facilities.

Built between 1882 and 1886, the fort served as a key defensive position in the eastern section of Przemyśl Fortress during the Austro-Hungarian period.

The fort represents advanced military engineering of the late 19th century through its innovative combination of concrete construction and strategic defensive arrangements.

Visitors can access the fort via a road from Medyka to Siedliska, with the structure maintaining 85 percent of its original construction despite past damage.

Located mere meters from the Polish-Ukrainian border, the fort contains preserved artillery pieces discovered in 2004, including two 9 cm wz.75 kazamat cannons.
