Ottagono Alberoni, Military fort in Venice Lagoon, Italy.
The Ottagono Alberoni stands as an octagonal fortification on a small island measuring 0.2 hectares between Poveglia and Alberoni in the Venetian waters.
During the War of Candia in the 1600s, the Republic of Venice reinforced the fort structure with additional artillery to protect against naval invasions.
The fort represents a prime example of Venetian military engineering, demonstrating the technical capabilities of Renaissance architects in designing effective defense structures.
The structure requires boat transportation to access, with the nearest docking point at Alberoni pier, where visitors can arrange water transport.
The fort maintained an active garrison of 25 soldiers and four artillery pieces until 1900, marking centuries of continuous military presence.
