Ouvrage Sainte-Agnès, Underground military fortification in Sainte-Agnès, France.
The fort extends across 2000 square meters of underground tunnels and rooms, protected by 55 meters of solid mountain rock above.
The fort, completed in 1934, formed part of the Alpine Line defense system and successfully repelled Italian forces during World War II in 1940.
The military museum preserves combat equipment, living quarters, and defense systems that showcase French military engineering from the 1930s.
Guided tours operate daily from July through September, while weekend visits are available during other months of the year.
The fortification contains six specialized blocks, including artillery positions and observation posts that overlook the Mediterranean Sea from 780 meters.
