Forte Monteratti, Military fort in Genoa, Italy.
Located at 560 meters above sea level, Forte Monteratti extends 250 meters along the ridge between the Quezzi and Bavari districts of Genoa.
The House of Savoy government constructed this fortification between 1831 and 1842, incorporating an existing tower to defend the Monte Ratti peak against invasions.
The fort represents a key element in the network of Genoese fortifications, reflecting the military architecture and defense strategies of 19th-century Italy.
The original cobblestone military road leads to the fort, which remains accessible despite its deteriorated condition and lack of maintenance.
During World War I, the fortress served as a detention facility for Austrian prisoners and later transformed into an anti-aircraft base in World War II.
