Built just below Fort Sant'Alessandro between 1898 and 1900, Forte Battery di Mezzo was placed to control the Loppio furrow and the slopes of the Altissimo. The firing of his artillery was to block any attempts of Italian penetration from Rovereto and make the Mori-Arco-Riva railway, inaugurated in 1891, unusable.

The work, in Vogl style, features thick stone masonry and a concrete roof. The fort was equipped with 4 guns of 12 cm model 1896 with rigid carriage on rails with counterweight and a light armament for close combat, consisting of two machine guns and partly shielded riflemen. The artillery was stationed in armored casemates. The fort had a garrison of 2 officers and 114 men. During the war it was equipped with a long tunnel that emerged with an observatory and two gunboats on the east wall of Monte Brione.

This old, impressive fortification, built in 1990, is a sight to behold. Those who make it here will experience history and magnificent views in all directions. From here, you can descend either via the stairs along the ridge, the switchbacks, or the wild trails to the north.
