On Tuesday, August 4th in Fenestrelle, at 9 PM, at the parish hall of Mentoulles, a thematic meeting titled "Living Fortresses: Cultural and Biological Diversity in Fortifications". Organized by Bruno Usseglio - Parks of the Cottian Alps
The San Moritio (San Maurizio) fort was built starting in 1628 at the Colle della Roussa to counter any French offensive attacks through the pass, which at the time marked the border between the Dauphiné and Piedmont. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it is one of the very few examples of star fortification present in a mountain environment.
