THE WAR FORTS
In the context of the enhancement of the territory and preservation of historical memory, since 2021 the associations AssfortSardegna, Comitato Margine Rosso and the Amici dei Fortini Group started a process of recovery of a part of the fortified defensive system during the Second World War.
The Quartese defensive system or also called containment arch was built between 1940 and 1943 and included around eighty forts divided into strongholds (groups of forts) between the coastal and hilly areas with both light and medium caliber artillery armament.
We will take you to visit one of the forts, "Caposaldo XV Licata", set up with period objects.

Via Pitz'e Serra corner of military outpost - Quartu Sant'Elena
10.00am - 11.30am and 4.30pm and 6.00pm
