Forte Aurelia Antica, Military fort on Via Aurelia Antica, Rome, Italy
The fort features a pentagonal layout with an internal courtyard for arms storage, surrounded by a defensive moat and protected by a ravelin.
Built between 1877 and 1881 at a cost of 771,174 lire, this fort monitored access routes from Civitavecchia port to the capital of Italy.
The fort represents late 19th-century military architecture in Rome and forms part of Campo Trincerato, a network of 15 forts and 4 batteries.
Located at Via Aurelia Antica 443, the fort now houses units of the Guardia di Finanza and offers guided tours focused on military history.
