    Hiking

    Open artillery positions built in 1914 for cannons and corresponding cannon sheds. It is a work of considerable size, made of stone and concrete. The cannon barrels, mounted on solid metal, had a large radius of action and could reach the Motto di Taverne with one shot. The weapons were identical to those that exist behind the former Monte Ceneri radio station.
