Forte di Canarbino, Military fort in Arcola, Italy.

The fort sits at an elevation of 260 meters above sea level and overlooks the Gulf of Poets, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation.

The Kingdom of Italy initiated construction of Forte di Canarbino in 1870 to protect the Military Maritime Arsenal of La Spezia, completing it in 1880.

The structure maintains connections to local heritage through its transformation from a military installation to a community sports facility for shooting activities.

Visitors can access the fort on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 14:00 to 19:00 and Sundays from 09:00 to 13:00, with prior contact recommended.

The fort initially contained 28 cannons and later received anti-aircraft positions with 76/40 millimeter cannons during the advancement of military aviation.
