    'Quota 1045' is the extreme (southern/eastern) tip of the Monte Cengio massif, between Val Canaglia and Val Cengiotta, below Piazzale Principe del Piemonte: here a cave stronghold was built by the Italian military engineers to hinder a possible Austro-Hungarian attack from the west (as happened with the Strafexpedition of 1916).

    It also controlled the 'Sentiero delle Postazioni', the fortified defensive line built along a ridge that rises from Cogollo to the Cengio, to monitor and keep the access to the Val d'Astico under fire.

    It is not well known, being set back from the well-known Arroccamento del Cengio mule track, but it was an integrated and important part of the entire stronghold of the massif.
