Bastione Stampace, Medieval bastion in Pisa, Italy.
The fortified structure stands at the southwestern corner of Pisa's defensive walls, featuring solid stone construction and military architectural elements.
The bastion underwent reinforcement in 1287 and played a crucial role during the 1499 conflict when Pisa successfully resisted Florentine and French forces.
Giorgio Vasari depicted the bastion in his 1563 artwork at Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, documenting its strategic importance in regional conflicts.
The structure contains a gymnasium used by local teams practicing for the traditional Bridge Game competitions of Pisa.
Embedded cannonballs remain visible in the surrounding walls, marking the intense battles between Pisa and Florence during the Renaissance period.
