Description

Fort Wohlgemuth was built between 1850 and 1851. It is called Wohlgemuth because it is dedicated to an Austrian general, who fought in the battles of the year 1848. It has been built by using local stones and it has got fried brick archivolts.

After the annexation of Veneto to Italy, it became property of the Italians. Since then it has been modified and, in fact, a new battery named “low Rivoli” was built in 1884. It consists of a large square enclosed by ramparts.

Currently the fort hosts a World War I Museum.
