Interesting in fairly good condition left over from World War I. The was built to protect Pula from sea borne attack with its 30.5 cm cannons. Now there are lots of fortified rooms and stairs to the weapon mounts which are interesting and benches for summer concerts in the fort. Beautiful views and a nice bike ride or hike. For the history lover this structure is the best, if you visit this with other forts distributed around this hill you will have a point of view about protection model of pola city of firt year of last century. With a minimum of attention you can visit even some restricted area but pay attention because is possible fall down fro high wall Best is to go by bike and leave your car at the gate. Locals are known to lock the gate stranding people who go in by car. The structure itself is impressive although the Italians stripped it down of most of its cannons and metals sone hundred years ago. Some rooms are partially cleaned up but not all. Still. There are many dark rooms and corridors with dangerous holes 🕳️ so be aware of your surroundings, watch your step and take a strong flashlight 🔦 with you especially in the evening. Don’t let small children run around unattended. Pictured is the massive engine room which exploded at one time due to causes unknown. According to a local the blast was so loud it was even heard in Venice. The most likely cause was an accidental explosion of fuel or gas stored in the engine room, either during the fort’s military use or soon after abandonment. This aligns with what’s known about military structures of that era and other similar cases worldwide. At First glance when you enter the it looks dirty and just like a ruin. But once youre on top you have a beautiful view of the itself and the surroundings. Gate locked but still accessible if you have some ability to climb. Wear shoes with good grip. A must see while on Mon Perin or Barbariga beach. There are clear footpaths from both sides. To get to the top one needs a bit wall climbing from unofficial paths but nothing dangerous and the sunset view is rewarding. Let's say that a little bit of parkour is required but well worth the effort Taking a peak on that beautiful sea from the turret was unreal Watch out for debris and the collapsed part is really dangerous Nice lost place for adults. I wouldn’t recommend to take your children with you. There are some/many holes and dangerous spots. If you wanna know some more about the history of pula and the ww1 its definitely worth a visit.
