Ouvrage L'Agaisen, Military museum in Sospel, France.
The Ouvrage L'Agaisen military fortress, situated at 750 meters altitude, contains four main blocks connected by underground galleries with artillery and infantry installations.
Built in 1937 as part of the Maginot Line defensive system, the fortress fired 1,300 shells against Italian forces during the 1940 Alpine campaign.
