Forte Ardietti, Military fortress in Ponti sul Mincio, Italy
The fort presents an octagonal layout with three double caponiers and features stone masonry walls from Monte Pastello with brick vaulted ceilings.
Construction of Forte Ardietti started in 1856 under Austrian control, paused during the 1859 campaign, and completed in 1861 as part of the Quadrilatero defense system.
The fortress stands as an example of nineteenth-century military engineering, incorporating neoclassical architectural elements in its defensive structure design.
Visitors can access the fort from Peschiera del Garda by following the road to Mantova and turning onto Via Mano di Ferro past Hotel Dolci Colli.
The fort maintained its original structure through years of service as a military ammunition depot and now serves educational purposes for school groups.
