Forte Monte Folaga, Military fort in Pastrengo, Italy.

Forte Monte Folaga is an Austrian-built fort completed in 1861 on a hill at 190 m above sea level, watching the ground between Sandrà and Bussolengo as far as Lazise. Its rampart held several barbette emplacements plus cannon positions protected by walls or casemates, and redoubts housed the garrison. It closely follows the design of nearby Forte Piovezzano, also called Forte Degenfeld.

Completed in 1861, the fort was built by the Austrian Empire and named after the Hungarian general Ludwig von Benedek. It passed to the Royal Italian Army after Veneto joined the Kingdom of Italy in 1866 and was renamed Forte Monte Folaga after the hill it stands on.

The Austrians named the fort after Hungarian general Ludwig von Benedek; after Veneto joined the Kingdom of Italy in 1866 it was renamed Forte Monte Folaga, after the hill it stands on. The rampart held several barbette emplacements plus cannon positions sheltered by walls or casemates, and redoubts housed the garrison. Today a wine cellar and an adults-only Relais occupy the interior.

The fort stands on a hill at 190 m, above the ground between Sandrà and Bussolengo. It is privately owned and open to visitors; inside are a wine cellar and an adults-only Relais with rooms. Access is on foot from the surrounding roads, so plan the climb up the hill accordingly.

The fort now houses a wine cellar and lodging spaces within its historic structures. This modern use shows how the site has adapted to contemporary needs while keeping its military character intact.
