The Fort in the locality of Col Roncone was part of the defensive line of the Medio Tagliamento. After the transfer of ownership from the military state property to the municipality of Rive d’Arcano, the site was recovered and transformed into the Tagliamento Fortress Museum. Built between the years 1911 and 1912, it was the basis of several military exercises.
In the period between the two world wars, the Fort was used as a depot for military material transported from the barracks of Udine until the winter of 1944-1945, when it was occupied by partisans.
The recovery project allowed a "new" use of the spaces in compliance with the historical and architectural characteristics of the building. Two conference rooms and an extraordinary permanent exhibition on the fortified architecture of the Great War in Friuli have been set up on the ground floor.
