Quadrilatero, Military fortress system in Peschiera del Garda, Italy
Four interconnected fortifications form a defensive quadrilateral between Peschiera del Garda, Verona, Mantua, and Legnago along the Mincio and Po rivers.
The Austrian Empire constructed this defensive network between 1815 and 1866 to maintain control over the Lombardy-Venetia region during their occupation period.
The fortification system represents Austrian military engineering excellence with pentagonal layouts, moats, bastions, and strategic positioning between major waterways.
Visitors can explore the external fortification walls, military buildings, and defensive structures through guided tours organized by the local cultural association.
The fortress network incorporated advanced military technology of its time, including rifled cannons and an external ring of eight additional forts.
