Werk Verle, Military fortress in Levico Terme, Italy
The fortress stretches across a single line with four two-story sections, containing various rooms and artillery positions along its 70-meter length.
Built between 1907 and 1914 by Austro-Hungarian forces, the fortress served as a defensive stronghold during World War I until the front line moved southeast.
The fortress gained recognition through Fritz Weber's writings and Luis Trenker's involvement, who described its interior layout similar to a warship's structure.
Located at an altitude of 1506 meters between Busa Verle and Cima Verle mountain huts, the fortress provides access to hiking trails in the region.
The structure includes four rotating cupules and an intricate system of connecting tunnels that allowed soldiers to move throughout different sections.
