Werk Nago, Military fort in Nago-Torbole, Italy
The stone fortification stands on a rocky hill at the slopes of Monte Altissimo mountain, offering views over Lake Garda and the Adige Valley.
Built in 1860 during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the fort served as a strategic defense point along the border between Austria and the Italian territories.
The fort represents a significant example of 19th-century military architecture and now functions as an educational site for understanding regional fortification systems.
Visitors can reach the fort through Via al Castel Penede, with parking available nearby and regular opening hours during spring and summer seasons.
The fortress contains preserved military quarters and observation posts, demonstrating the engineering capabilities of Austrian military architects in mountain fortification design.
