Fort Bard, Military museum in Bard, Italy
Fort Bard stands 80 meters above the Dora Baltea river with fortifications extending across multiple levels connected by stone pathways and defensive structures.
In May 1800, a garrison of 400 soldiers at Fort Bard successfully delayed Napoleon Bonaparte's army of 40,000 troops during their Italian campaign.
The Museum of the Alps within Fort Bard presents exhibitions about Alpine life, regional traditions, and the relationship between mountains and their inhabitants.
Visitors can reach the different sections of Fort Bard through panoramic glass elevators that transport them from the entrance to the upper sections.
The fort contains 50 independent casemates with gun ports designed for mutual defense, demonstrating advanced military engineering from the 1830s.
