Verona defensive system, Military fortification system in Verona, Italy
The defensive complex spans over 9 kilometers, encompassing walls, bastions, forts, trenched camps, warehouses, and barracks across the urban landscape of Verona.
Between 1814 and 1866, the Austro-Hungarian Empire constructed this military system, transforming Verona into a central stronghold within the Quadrilateral defense network.
The fortification system demonstrates 2000 years of military architecture evolution, leading to UNESCO World Heritage recognition for its architectural and engineering value.
The defensive structure includes four casemates in the moat for riflemen, artillery positions, and a drawbridge entrance protected by a gallery in the southeastern front.
The military complex required 6,000 workers for construction and could accommodate 15,000 soldiers, with facilities including cavalry barracks, ammunition depots, and hospitals.
