Forte Santa Viola, Military fort in Grezzana, Italy.

Forte Santa Viola stands at 830 meters above sea level on Monte Santa Viola, featuring concrete walls and three levels of military architecture.

The Italian military engineers constructed this fortification between 1904 and 1913 as part of a defense network protecting Verona from northern attacks.

The annual Santa Viola festival takes place in August near the pine forest surrounding the fort, bringing together local residents for celebrations.

The fort includes ventilation systems, electrical generators, and ammunition elevators connecting its multiple floors for operational efficiency.

Four armored domes with observation posts mark the structure, which maintained visual connections with other forts positioned 20 kilometers apart.
