Ottagono Ca’ Roman, Military fort in Venice Lagoon, Italy.
The octagonal fortification stands on a small island of 0.0020 square kilometers, constructed from rock materials in front of Ca' Roman near Pellestrina.
The structure served as a military stronghold through multiple conflicts, remaining operational until the conclusion of World War II under various controlling powers.
The fort represents a significant element of Venice's maritime defense heritage, featuring architectural elements from different historical periods of Italian military construction.
Access to Ottagono Ca' Roman requires boat transportation, and visitors should note the deteriorated state of numerous structures on the property.
A circular reinforced concrete platform at the center of the island indicates its function as an artillery position during wartime operations.
