Forte Tenna, Military fort in Tenna, Italy.

The fort stands 608 meters above sea level between Lake Levico and Lake Caldonazzo, featuring two levels connected by internal passageways and staircases.

Built between 1880 and 1882, the fort formed part of the Austrian defense system, equipped with eight 12cm cannons and two 10cm howitzers in rotating domes.

The structure represents the military engineering techniques of the late 19th century, incorporating local metamorphic rocks transported by boats across Lake Levico.

Visitors can access the fort through a 15-minute walk from San Rocco square in Tenna, following roads Roma and Valentino to the entrance.

Five semi-columns on the northern facade rise seven meters high, serving both as structural supports and defensive elements of the fortification.
