We visited Forte Sebastiano (Werk Cherle) around midday, and while I wouldn’t recommend it as a top photo spot, it’s definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in war history. You can explore the interior, which is filled with tunnels and passages that make it a fascinating experience. I’d recommend bringing a flashlight, as it can get quite dark inside. It dates back to 1914 and was part of the fortifications during World War I in the Dolomites mountain range
