Forte Bravetta, Military fort in western Rome, Italy
Forte Bravetta spans across eleven hectares between Via Aurelia and Via Portuense, featuring defensive walls and artillery positions constructed in Prussian architectural style.
Built between 1877 and 1883 as part of Rome's defensive system, the fort later became an execution site during the German occupation from 1943 to 1944.
A memorial plaque at the entrance lists the names of 77 resistance fighters who lost their lives at this location during World War II.
The site, now known as Martyrs' Park, opens daily from morning until sunset and visitors can access it through Via Bravetta number 741.
The fortress stands on the remains of an ancient Roman villa that belonged to Lucius Fabius Pollio, connecting modern military history with classical antiquity.
