Forte San Pietro, Coastal fort in Livorno, Italy.
The Forte San Pietro stands at the edge of the Venice district, featuring thick stone walls and military architecture from the 1600s.
Construction of the fortress began in 1682 under Grand Duke Cosimo III de Medici to protect the Venice district from maritime attacks.
Four ceremonial medals were placed during construction: one gold, one silver, and two bronze, representing both political and religious significance.
The structure transformed over centuries from a military fortification to a timber depot and later housed public slaughterhouses.
During the 1849 conflict, the fort's cannons coordinated with Torre del Marzocco to defend Livorno against Austrian forces.
