The fort, built between 1860 and 1861, belongs to the first group of permanent Austrian fortifications with the task of blocking access to Trento and the Adige valley. The visit retraces the Great War through the history of the Trentino fortified system, at a site that is no longer a border site but a European meeting space. Indeed, in 2018 the fort received the European Heritage Label awarded to sites that symbolize and celebrate European ideals, values, history and integration.

Free event, no booking required

From 9 September to 27 November 2022 - Trento, Le Gallerie - Fondazione Museo storico del Trentino
“Paesaggi Forti” exhibition
What does the Trentino fortified landscape really tell us?

An artistic and cultural experience that interweaves artworks created ad hoc by Alchemica APS artists and the results of a research project.

From Tuesday to Sunday: 10-18
