Forte Mondascia Museo Militare

The Military Museum of Forte Mondascia is located in Biasca. Opened in 1999, it is managed by the FOR.TI Opere Fortificate del Cantone Ticino, which is responsible for acquiring and preserving the works of the historic fortified device of Ticino and making them accessible to the public.

Operational and secret until 1995 the artillery posts of Mondascia in Biasca were made in the period of the Second World War. They were intended to reinforce with artillery fire the barrier called the LONA (named after the two countries LOdrino and OsogNA), an imposing line of defense against an enemy from the South. The works, constantly modernized, are a fascinating plunge into the underground world and until recently totally mysterious.
