This Italian fort, on the border with the Empire of Austria-Hungary, remained unfinished: at the beginning of the Great War, in fact, the steel domes for the battery positions were missing, which had been ordered from a German foundry which had become, meanwhile, enemy! However, it was equally armed with howitzers in remote external positions, given its important position which kept the Austro-Hungarian forts of Folgaria under fire. The particular and large horseshoe-shaped tunnel behind the fort, sheltered from the enemy, probably sheltered the howitzers which were brought to the square if necessary.
