Forte Ardeatina, Military fort in Rome, Italy
Forte Ardeatina stands as a rectangular fortification with rounded corners, positioned 4 kilometers from the Aurelian walls of Rome.
The construction of Forte Ardeatina occurred between 1879 and 1882 as part of Rome's defensive network comprising fifteen forts and four batteries.
The fort represents a period of Italian military architecture that incorporated Prussian design principles in the late nineteenth century.
The structure occupies 11.2 hectares along Via Ardeatina and remains under the ownership of Roma Capitale administration.
Each corner of Forte Ardeatina features strategic observation points that allowed soldiers to monitor approaching threats from multiple directions simultaneously.
