Above the village of Romagnano stood the namesake battery built in the 19th century, demolished in 1896 and replaced by the new fort. In 1909, along with works on Palon, the Pale stronghold was constructed, later reinforced in 1915. At the outbreak of the war, a modern trench system descended from the Palon summit, following the southern side of the Val di Gola, reaching the numerous works between Garniga Vecchia, Romagnano, and Ravina.
This side of Monte Bondone is less touristy and wilder compared to the northern side; it offers picturesque views: in the upper part with its forests and in the valley floor with its fields.
