Forte Corno, Military fort in Valdaone, Italy

Forte Corno stands at 1069 meters above sea level on the western slope of Valle del Chiese, forming part of the defensive system along the Italian border.

Construction of this Austro-Hungarian fortification began in 1883 and reached completion in 1890, establishing one of four forts within the Sperrgruppe Lardaro complex.

The structure contains 53 rooms across three levels, incorporating military architectural elements characteristic of late 19th-century European defensive installations.

Visitors can access the fort during summer months following its restoration in 2014, which included the reconstruction of the original roof structure.

The fort featured a rotating steel-armored gun dome and specialized cannonry designed according to Vogl specifications, controlling access from the Daone valley region.
