Forte Tiburtina, Military fort in Collatino district, Rome, Italy.

The fort exhibits a trapezoidal layout with straight external faces, featuring a perimeter ditch protected by a central caponier and lateral half-caponieres.

Constructed between 1880 and 1884, Forte Tiburtina formed part of a network of fifteen fortifications designed to strengthen Rome's defensive capabilities.

The structure represents late 19th-century military engineering principles, incorporating elements such as ammunition depots, defensive drums, and specialized observation points.

Located at Via Tiburtina 780 in Rome's Municipality IV, the fort can be accessed from Pietralata and Santa Maria del Soccorso railway stations.

Two natural springs exist within the fort's compound, while the ammunition depot features dual entrances facing the surrounding defensive ditch.
