The Margherita Hut (Italian: ''Capanna Regina Margherita'') is a mountain hut belonging to the Italian Alpine Club, located on the Signalkuppe of Monte Rosa in the Alps. At above sea level, it is the highest building in Europe. It is also among the largest huts of the massif, together with the Monte Rosa Hut. The Margherita Hut is located in Italian territory(), near the international border between Italy and Switzerland, in the Italian region of Piedmont . The nearest settlements are Macugnaga and Alagna Valsesia, both in Piedmont. The hut is dedicated to Margherita of Savoy, Queen of Italy from 1878 to 1900. ==History== The construction of the hut was directed by the Italian Alpine Club in 1889. The hut was pre-built in the valley, then brought to its final destination by mule and then by men, and assembled on site. It was opened on August 18, 1893, in the presence of Margherita of Savoy, Queen of Italy, to whom the hut is dedicated. The hut soon became an important research center for high-elevation medicine, under the direction of Angelo Mosso. As the hut was quite small, in 1907 a newer, lower research center ("Istituto Mosso") was built near the Salati Pass, at an elevation of about . In 1899 a meteorological station was added. A complete restoration started in 1977. The original hut was dismantled, and was replaced by the current hut, which opened in 1980. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margherita Hut」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
