Legend tells that in 1683, the year of the siege of Vienna by the Ottoman Empire, a
Turkish soldier, after being taken prisoner in the Austrian capital, managed to escape
wounded and by now at the end of his strength he reached Moena, here he was rescued by the inhabitants. The help
and generosity of the people meant that the Turk decided to move permanently
to this place, exactly in the district that would later take the name of Turkey, or
perhaps who knows simply the name of Turkey indicated the place where he was twisted in linen .
Someda fort was built by the Austro-Hungarian military genius in 1898 in case
of attack by the Kingdom of Italy. In this fort the solution of the double defensive front
was adopted, a concept that wanted the weapons aimed simultaneously both
upstream and downstream of the fortification. However, it was a fort with a
rather old-fashioned concept, so much so that in 1915 it was converted into a military warehouse.
