Werk Gschwent, today better known as Forte Belvedere, is one of the largest and best preserved forts in Trentino. Built by the Austro-Hungarian army between 1908 and 1912 in order to protect this area of Trentino from possible adversary incursions, it is today one of the most evocative sites of the Great War on the Alpine front. The fort stands on a rocky outcrop at an elevation of 1177 m overlooking the Astico Valley, which, at the time, sanctioned the state border between the Kingdom of Italy and Austria-Hungary.
Fort Belvedere now houses an innovative World War I museum, which boasts more than 20,000 visitors each year. Inside you can find artifacts and images from the period that, along with numerous multimedia installations, help you understand the atrocious experiences of the Great War, with a comparative look at today’s conflicts. The cold walls, the humidity and the noises will bring you back in time to better understand the drama of those who lived through the conflict.
You can find out more about our museum on our dedicated page.
