Werk Serrada, Military fort in Folgaria, Italy
The fort spans three blocks, with the main section measuring 100 meters long and 8 meters wide, containing reinforced concrete structures at 1670 meters elevation.
Constructed between 1911 and 1914, the fortification served as a defensive position against Italian advances through Val Terragnolo toward Rovereto during World War I.
The fort represents Austrian military engineering principles, featuring four 100mm howitzers in rotating domes and twenty-two machine gun positions behind armored slots.
Visitors can reach the fort by taking a chairlift from Serrada to Rifugio Baita Tonda or hiking from Fondo Piccolo, requiring approximately 40 minutes on foot.
The structure maintained communication with neighboring forts through optical signals and provided support during the 1916 Strafexpedition offensive by Austro-Hungarian forces.
