An Italian frontline stronghold during the Great War, with an impressive tunnel that spiraled up the rock tower, allowing soldiers to negotiate the height difference, protected from enemy fire and sight, and approach the foot of Mount Cimone to recapture it. This bastion, which has no place name on war maps, was called "Quota Neutra" by the Italians because it was located in "no man's land" between the lines of the two opposing forces: the Austro-Hungarians on Mount Cimone and the Italians on Mount Caviojo.

Grandiose work of the engineers of the Great War. It is a daring helical gallery inside a large spire with the aim of rising in altitude. Requires a torch.
