Forte Gomagoi, Military fort in Gomagoi, Italy

The fortification stands at 1,270 meters above sea level on the road connecting Prato allo Stelvio to the Stelvio Pass in South Tyrol.

Built between 1860 and 1861 by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the fort served as a strategic defense point following the loss of Lombardy in 1859.

The structure represents the military engineering practices of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, featuring caponiera designs and specific defensive positioning methods.

The Province of Bolzano currently manages the fort, with plans to transform sections of the building into exhibition spaces for visitors.

The fort underwent substantial modifications in 1912, converting its infantry positions into machine gun emplacements with advanced firing capabilities.
