A trench was cut around the site, and only three entrances led inside; from the inner yards, visitors can still go down and explore the parts below ground.

Left empty once the Second World War ended, the fort was finally cleared after years of neglect. It now hosts concerts, exhibitions and other cultural events, and a bar on its roof serves refreshments. Monte Grosso, the fort that keeps the last surviving Martello tower around Pula, stands close by.
