The Fort was designed in the second half of the nineteenth century and was part of the first group of permanent Austrian fortifications. In 2018, it received the European Heritage Label.

The Fort was built between 1860 and 1861 by Gustav Hermann, major of the military genius of Trento. It had the task of blocking access to Trento and the Adige Valley. The fort is a road cut in limestone tiles, equipped with casemates for artillery and riflemen. The access road to the city was not only closed by a door, but by the entire construction: this is what makes the Fort of Cadine unique. Some service spaces are underground: along a tunnel you could reach a bearded artillery station. It was connected to the Doss di Sisce above by a military road. Disarmed in 1915, it later served as a roadblock; during World War II it was occupied by the Germans. In 1949 it was abandoned.

The Autonomous Province of Trento took care of the restoration, which began in 2006, respecting the original construction techniques and rebuilding the missing wall parts in analogy.

The fort spaces were equipped with a multimedia table, a dynamic model, installations and explanatory panels that illustrate the themes of the Great War and the Trentino fortifications.
