Forte Col Roncone

The Fort in the locality of Col Roncone was part of the defensive line of the Medio Tagliamento. Built between 1911 and 1912, the fort was used for the storage of military goods and it was the base for various military exercises in the period between the two World Wars. At the end of the second world war it was abandoned and in the 1989 the site was salvaged and transformed into the Museum of the Tagliamento Fortress with respect to the historical architectural characteristics of the building. On the ground floor, two conference halls and an extraordinary permanent exhibition on the fortification architecture of the Great War in Friuli have been set up.
