Strada Delle 52 Gallerie – Italy

Strada Delle 52 Gallerie used to be a military trail during WWI. The Italian road is located on the massif of Pasubio in Vicenza and is dangerous mainly due to its winds. It gained its nickname, ‘Sacred Area of Italy’ from its brutal setting in the war.

When you journey along the road, you’ll see many mementos of wartime, including caves that were used to store food for soldiers. It was designed in 1917 and built in just seven months – a feat at the time.
