Fort Spitz Verle: the Austrian fortification of the first world War situated on the top of Pizzo di Levico- Levico Terme, Trentino Alto Adige, Italy
The fort of Pizzo di Levico (in German Werk Spitz Verle) for its strategic position was called to the time of the first world war "the eye of plateaus". It was in fact an strong-observatory of the austro-hungarian artillery. It controlled the depositor south towards Asiago and the depositor north of the Valsugana valley until the brace of the forts of Tenna and of Col delle Benne (close to Levico) that they made part of the defensive system of the city of Trento. Situated on the edge of a precipice, it was constructed from 1907 to 1915 and came armed with light artillery and machine-guns for the own defense. It was connected by telephone with the Monterovere locality, center of the Military Commando of Austro-hungarian zone
