Built between 1890 and 1892 on a rocky spur at 1068 metres, it stands above Praso. In good condition, it is joined to the valley-floor fortress by a beautiful war path.
Of the five forts that formed the "Barrier of Lardaro", three remain: Fort Larino, south of Lardaro; Fort Corno, in the Municipality of Praso; Fort Carriola, in the territory of Pieve di Bono. Originally connected by a series of walkways, trenches and tunnels, they formed an impressive defensive system that dominated and controlled the Church Valley from above. Forte Corno has a structure of great value from the point of view of military architecture. It has fifty-four rooms, many of them well preserved, which make up a structure intended to accommodate up to one hundred and sixty soldiers. You can reach it by car or on foot through the connecting path from Forte Larino (about 2 hours). You can only visit with guided tours without reservation (10am, 2pm and 4pm).
STRENGTH:
Expertly renovated, it is a scenic pearl of the Great War on the Valle del Chiese.
