Forte Montecchio Nord Entrance Ticket

Bit of a walk up the hill but nice to see. Lots of wildlife on the road to the top. Guided tour available if you want to see more

Been to lake como many times and had never heard of Montecchio, if you are interested interested in anything ww1/ww2 well worth a visit. The guide took time to explain in English although we where the only to non Italians in the group

Great tour, neat fort to visit if you are in the area. Our tour guide Luca was very good. He didn't rush and gave us plenty of time to explore and ask questions. Last part of the tour when stepping out onto the top of the fort was cool with really nice views.

Loved all the period costumes. Great information and history. English speakers. I learned a lot. Bring the kids. Very enthusiastic staff.

Place entirely original and complete largely in all its equipment and equipment, which is absolutely exceptional given the nature and era of the structure. Electrical panels, ventilation systems, cannons, pumps, wiring... There is almost everything and everything perfectly original. The Guide although young was very knowledgeable and, strangely, could boast excellent English pronunciation. The only observation I would make concerns the permission given to visitors, especially children, to climb on the armored domes: probably indestructible because of 15cm thick cast iron, the same cannot be said for the thin sheets that cover the edge and the junction of the fire mouth that in fact are quite bent by the weight of the people who have climbed over the years. Damage absolutely avoidable. It would also be good to restore some damaged parts of the structure, such as some broken and dismantled windows and doors from their seats (the shed in the lawn) and make usable the closed but interesting rooms such as the workshop north of the casemate, the battery room adjacent to the generators etc. And fix the slabs of the parking lot in front of the entrance, which should not require extensive intervention yet they are in pitiful condition probably for a long time. In short, fantastic structure but a little neglected.
