    Forte di Monte Ercole was an Italian fortress that was built between 1904 and 1913 on the mountain of the same name to defend the Italian border with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is located in the town of Ospedaletto in the Gemona del Friuli area of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

    The facility is well-maintained and open to the public. Information boards with archival photos and descriptions further enrich our knowledge of the period preceding World War I.
