    The work and the barracks of La Forca are now ruins. They were built between January 1887 and November 1891 at a time of border tension. Its purpose was to monitor the Roya valley in order to control a possible invasion of troops from Italy.

    They come to replace an old Sardinian redoubt. The two buildings are located at the southern summit of the Massif de L'Authion at 2,078 meters above sea level. Besides this historic site, the climb to the top is worth doing just for the magnificent views.
