Combined with roadside blockhouse Forte Maso was supposed to control the passage from the then Austrian Southern Tyrol (presently Alto Adige, Italy) to Veneto (Italy) over the Pasubio Pass.

Trdnjava Maso naj bi skupaj z obcestno zaporno utrdbo nadzorovala prehod cez prelaz Pasubio iz takratne avstrijske Juzne Tirolske (danes italijanski Alto Adige) v Veneto (Italija).

The fort was constructed in 1883-1885 and modernised in 1909-1910. It's main armament were supposed to be 6 cannons 149 G and 4 howitzers 149 G, but only three in total were commissioned. Already outdated at the outset of hostilities in May 1915 the fort was evacuated and used only as a magazine. There is no data when the visible damage was caused but it is most likely it happened during Austrian retreat after the Strafexpedition in 1916.

Trdnjava je bila zgrajena v letih 1883-1885 in modernizirana v letih 1909-1910. Oborozena naj bi bila s sestimi topovi 149 G in stirimi havbicami 149 G, a so bili dostavljeni vsega skupaj le trije topovi. Ob zacetku sovraznosti maja 1915 je bila trdnjava ze zastarela, zato so jo evakuirali in uporabljali le se kot skladisce. Ni znano, kdaj je nastala vidna skoda na trdnjavi, a domnevamo lahko, da so jo razstrelili Avstrijci med umikom po Strafexpedition leta 1916.
