Forte Filippo, Military fort in Porto Ercole, Italy.
The fortress features a quadrangular layout with double curtain walls, four triangular bastions at each corner, and a pentagonal bastion on the northern side.
Giovanni Camerini constructed Forte Filippo in 1558 on the site of Fort Sant'Ermo, strengthening the defense system of the State of Presidi.
The complex includes the eighteenth-century chapel of San Nicola and houses a private museum displaying military artifacts from different historical periods.
Visitors can reach the fortress via an asphalted road from Porto Ercole, with access limited to the perimeter as internal buildings serve as private residences.
A deep moat carved from solid rock separates the outer and inner fortifications, crossed by a single drawbridge at the eastern entrance.
