Fort Largs, Military fortification in Port Adelaide Enfield, Australia.
Fort Largs contains underground tunnels, gun emplacements, and storage facilities positioned along the South Australian coastline near Port Adelaide.
The fort began operations in 1881 as part of Adelaide's coastal defense network, responding to perceived threats from the Russian Empire.
The site houses military artifacts and architectural elements that demonstrate the evolution of Australian coastal defense systems through different periods.
Visitors can explore the grounds daily and learn about military history through educational programs and interpretive signs explaining defense strategies.
Two 6-inch breech-loading disappearing guns were installed at the fort in 1889, making it Adelaide's primary coastal defense facility.
