Description
Built by Italy on the eve of the Second World War, ouvrage 261 is part of the Vallo Alpino defense line (compared to the Italian "Maginot Line"). It has been fully restored to its original 1939 combat-ready state.
Vievola’s Fort 261 was primarily used to control the road over the Tende Pass. It houses a 47/32 Model 35 anti-tank gun as well as two emplacements equipped with Fiat 14/35 machine guns, designed to prevent enemy troops from accessing the surrounding areas.
