Nowadays, the Monte Peneda battery is the only Austro-Hungarian military facility on Veliki Brijun that is under the management of the National Park. The battery consists of four cannon positions in which Škoda cannons (150 mm) are located in different degrees of preservation. One is fully preserved, the other lacks only a cannon barrel, while two are cut into pieces. In the immediate vicinity of the cannon positions, there is an observation post from which gunners were sent instructions to shoot.
