Fort IIIa w Poznaniu, Military fort in Miłostowo, Poland.

Fort IIIa extends across 98 hectares of sandy and wooded terrain, featuring defensive structures integrated into the natural landscape of Poznań.

The fort served as a significant military installation during World War II, containing graves of Polish, Soviet, and German soldiers from various conflicts.

The fort now functions as part of Miłostowo Cemetery, containing over 81,000 graves including notable Polish artists, scientists, and cultural figures.

Visitors can access the fort grounds daily, where they will find a modern crematorium established in 1993 and Poland's first dedicated urn field.

The surrounding area contains specific vegetation patterns of pine, birch, poplar, and alder trees planted in the 1940s for ground stabilization.
