Italy · 19th century
The Paneveggio barrier consisted of the works "Albuso road barrier" and the "Dossaccio long-range battery" and belonged to Subrayon IV of the Austro-Hungarian chain of fortifications against Italy. It lies in the Dolomites and defended the Travignolo valley with the access from San Martino over the Rolle Pass into the Fassa valley and the Fiemme valley.
The road barrier secured the Rolle Pass road by direct protection, whereas the long-range work covered the whole area.
