Forte Preara o Werk John
The Preara or Werk John Fort in Verona was built between 1859 and 1860, at the behest of Ludwig van Benedek. The name comes from Baron Franz von John, who was Chief of Staff of the Army of Archduke Albrecht. Its structure has a polygonal track, and is positioned on a high ground. It was erected for defensive and military functions. Today, fortunately, the wall is well preserved and visible.
