    The Fort Central is a former Italian military fort intended for the defence of the Col de Tende, on the French Italian border.

    Along the Grande Alpine Traverse there are many old military bases but this is by far the most spectacular.

      The Fort Central is the main mothership in a system of fortifications intended, at the time of their construction in the late 19th century, to protect the Kingdom of Italy from advancing French troops likely to approach from the South through the Roya Valley.
