Forte Puin, Defensive fort on Monte Peralto, Genoa, Italy.
The fort features a two-story central tower with three underground storerooms, surrounded by a protective ditch crossed by a drawbridge.
Engineers from the Royal Corps of Sardinian constructed Forte Puin between 1815 and 1830 to strengthen defenses between Forte Sperone and Forte Diamante.
The fort exemplifies early 19th-century military engineering and stands as a testament to Genoa's defensive network of fortifications.
Visitors can explore Forte Puin every Sunday, accessing the site via Via delle Baracche in Genoa's northern district.
In 1963, Dr. Fausto Parodi leased and restored the abandoned fort at his own expense, making it his residence for twenty years.
