Fort Punta Christo, Austro-Hungarian coastal fort in Pula, Croatia
The stone fortress spans over ten thousand square meters with 270 rooms and features strategic artillery positions overlooking the Pula Bay entrance.
The construction of Fort Punta Christo began in 1856 and completed in 1861 as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's defense network along the Adriatic coast.
The fortress now functions as a venue for music festivals, contemporary art exhibitions, and cultural performances throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the fort through three separate entrances, with guided tours available to explore the underground chambers and military architecture.
The fort's interior yards connect to subterranean areas, while its position provides clear views of Muzil and the Brijuni islands from its vantage points.
