Forte Tre Sassi Museum, Military history museum in Passo Valparola, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.

The museum displays an extensive collection of World War I artifacts, including military equipment, weapons, uniforms, and personal items from soldiers stationed in the Dolomites.

Built in 1897 as an artillery fortress for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this structure underwent significant modifications in 1910 to strengthen its defensive capabilities.

The museum exhibits demonstrate the daily experiences of soldiers who served at high altitudes during World War I through letters, photographs, and personal belongings.

Located at an elevation of 2,200 meters, the museum operates daily from 10 AM to 1 PM and 2 PM to 5 PM, with guided tours available upon request.

The fort's position provides direct views of five mountain passes, making it a central point for understanding the strategic military operations in the Dolomites.
