Forte San Giuliano, Military fort in Albaro district, Genoa, Italy.
The stone fortification stands on the eastern coast between Punta Vagno and San Giuliano promontory, featuring two barracks connected by underground tunnels.
Built between 1826 and 1836, the fort initially housed 380 soldiers and could accommodate up to 1,200 military personnel during times of need.
The fort served as headquarters for multiple military organizations and transformed from a defense structure into the Provincial Command of the Carabinieri in Genoa.
Located at coordinates 44.39312N and 8.95965E, the fort maintains restricted access as it functions as an active military installation for the Italian authorities.
During World War II, the fortress contained an air defense battery and later became a detention center where numerous resistance fighters faced imprisonment.
