Batteria Amalfi, Coastal artillery in Cavallino-Treporti, Italy
The Batteria Amalfi stands on the coastline with concrete structures and steel reinforcements, featuring a twin gun tower of 381/40 caliber for naval defense.
The military installation, built between September 1915 and May 1917, formed part of Venice Lagoon's defense system against the Austro-Hungarian naval forces.
The battery received its name in memory of the Italian cruiser Amalfi, which sank in the upper Adriatic Sea on July 7, 1915.
The fortification complex maintains its original layout with multiple underground passages, weapon emplacements, and observation points accessible to visitors through guided tours.
The battery contained an advanced anti-aircraft dual-barrel 76/40 cannon system and provided accommodation for 268 military personnel during its operational period.
