THE GIANTS ON THE PATHS OF THE GREAT WAR 

Carved on the entrance portal of this military fortification you can see a symbolic high relief: giants portrayed in the act of throwing rocks against the sea. In this Battery, named after the patriot and general Carlo Alberto Radaelli, the “giants” were however 4 revolving cannons positioned on low armored domes.

Today the Radaelli Battery has been reconverted for tourist and commercial uses, but in the past it initially became a depot for materials of a nearby German anti-aircraft battery and then also a place of military and civil detention. It is now part of a tourist village and can be visited as part of the Cavallino Treporti museum.
