The Campiglia gunboat, built in 1917, is an interesting example of a fortification dating back to the First World War. Located in a cave along the Scarubbi road, which leads to Malga Campiglia, this military structure was part of the Italian Alpine defenses during the conflict. The site, hidden in the rock, offers a panoramic view of the surrounding valleys and represents an important historical testimony of those years. The strategic position of the gunboat, protected by the natural cavity of the mountain, allowed it to effectively control the area and respond to any enemy attacks.
