The Fort is an underground city dug under the village in the depths of the rock. It is buried under more than 55 meters of rock in a submarine-like configuration.
There are 2000 m2 of galleries and underground rooms with ultra-modern equipment for the time. In addition, there was a power station that supplied electricity, central heating, telephone, regulated air and a neutralization room against combat gases. This barracks was very pleasant for the soldiers who were far from the same comfort in their homes. The fort could accommodate 350 troops who could live there in complete self-sufficiency for 3 months.
