About Franzensfeste Fortress
This truly remarkable, massive defensive system was built by Emperor Francis I of Austria to protect the traffic connection across the Alta Valle Isarco. The building comprises a giant labyrinth of rooms, corridors and stairways. What’s incredible about it is that it was built in only 5 years, in the period between 1833 and 1838. When Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy made an alliance, Franzensfeste Fortress had lost its strategic importance. There is, however, an assumption that the Nazis hid a hoard of gold stolen from the Bank of Italy in this place in WWII. The fortress today features art exhibits in its halls.
