Forte del Pozzarello, Military fort in Monte Argentario, Italy
The trapezoidal fortification stands on an elevated position near Porto Santo Stefano, featuring four exterior walls and deep defensive ditches around its perimeter.
Constructed between 1874 and 1888 under the Kingdom of Italy, the fort protected the coastline near Porto Santo Stefano through various military operations and conflicts.
The fort demonstrates the military architectural principles of nineteenth-century Piedmontese fortifications, with its guard towers and dual arched entrance design.
Visitors can reach the fort via Strada Statale 440 in Monte Argentario, where informational markers provide details about the structure's military history.
