THE AMMUNITION DEPOT AT CAVALLINO

The powder magazine is a historic building visible along your cycling routes. The ammunition and gunpowder depot was built at a proper distance from the Amalfi Battery to avoid the risks of any explosions.

The building has a semi-ellipsoidal shape. Its interior preserves part of the original installations. You can still see the imposing metal protective closures, the concrete wall around it, the sturdy iron gate and even some remains of the Decauville railway tracks, which connected the various fortifications.
