In 1694 Luigi XIV had a fortress built in Fenestrelle, in the Chisone Valley. In August 1708 it was conquered by the Savoy army led by Vittorio Amedeo II.
With the Treaty of Utrecht (1713) the Chisone Valley and the fortress officially passed to the Kingdom of Piedmont and Sardinia.
The king thought the defensive system was inadequate, therefore he commissioned Ignazio Bertola, a military engineer, to strengthen the fortification.
