Forte Braschi, Military fort in Trionfale district, Rome, Italy
The fortress spans 8.2 hectares along Via della Pineta Sacchetti, featuring defensive structures integrated into Rome's urban landscape.
Construction of Forte Braschi began in 1877 as part of Rome's entrenched camp, forming a network of fifteen defensive fortifications around the city.
The fort takes its name from Cardinal Romoaldo Braschi-Onesti, who previously owned the land where the military structure was established.
The structure now functions as headquarters for AISE (External Information and Security Agency) and the Defense Unit Grouping of Italy.
On May 29, 1931, the fort became the location where anarchist Michele Schirru faced execution for planning an assassination attempt against Mussolini.
