Forte Albertino, Military fortress in Vinadio, Italy
The Forte Albertino stretches across 1200 meters along the mountainside, featuring 10 kilometers of internal corridors arranged on three distinct architectural levels.
Charles Albert of Savoy ordered the construction of this Alpine fortress in 1834, employing 4000 workers to complete the massive military structure by 1847.
The fortress houses permanent exhibitions including Montagna in Movimento, which presents the evolution of Alpine civilizations through multimedia installations.
Visitors can explore the fortress through guided tours, participate in virtual reality experiences, and access educational programs designed for families and schools.
During World War II, the fortress sustained damage from Allied bombing campaigns, leading to its transformation from a military installation into a contemporary museum complex.
