Description

The observation post is a 20th-century structure located on a slope, facing southwest. It has brick walls and a roof made of shuttered concrete, and is rectangular in shape. The front half of the building features a sloping roof, while there is an entrance at the rear, located at the northeast corner. The angled front elevation includes three horizontal embrasures or observation slots, which have concrete lintels and are positioned near the ground level. These embrasures were intended to be sealed with concrete blocks when necessary, and several of these blocks are still present inside the building.
