Forte Ruaz, Military fort in Livinallongo del Col di Lana, Italy
The fortress stands at an elevation of 1,400 meters in the Dolomites mountains, featuring thick stone walls and strategic observation points.
Forte Ruaz was constructed in the early 1900s as part of the Austrian defensive system along the Italian border during rising European tensions.
The structure represents a significant example of military engineering and has received recognition as an Italian national heritage monument.
Visitors can now stay at the converted hotel-restaurant while exploring the preserved sections of the original fortification structure.
The fortress contains a network of underground passages connecting different sections, including one that links the restaurant to the hotel area.
