Forte San Mattia, Military fort on northern hills, Verona, Italy.
The fort features dry moats, central caponier defenses, and tuff stone walls arranged in an irregular layout adapted to the mountainous terrain.
Constructed in 1843 under the direction of Major General Franz von Scholl and Michael von Maly as part of the Verona defensive system.
The fort represents Austrian military engineering principles, incorporating architectural elements that integrate with the natural landscape of Verona's hills.
During military operations, the fort accommodated 342 infantry soldiers, 26 artillerymen, and maintained capacity for 500 additional emergency personnel.
The fort contained four 9.5 cm rifled muzzle-loading cannons and four smooth-bore cannons, with ammunition stored in a dedicated powder magazine.
