Forte di Macchiatonda, Coastal fortification in Capalbio, Italy.
The Macchiatonda Fort features a quadrangular layout with two levels, four diagonal corner pillars, and a four-sloped roof covering the structure.
Spanish forces constructed this defensive structure during the 1600s to strengthen the protection system at the southernmost point of the State of Presidi.
The fort served as a filming location for Marco Ferreri's 'Il seme dell'uomo' in 1969, documenting the state of the building at that time.
The fort stands directly on Macchiatonda beach, allowing visitors to combine historical exploration with seaside activities during their visit.
Despite its military purpose, the fort was designed to appear as a residential farmhouse, concealing its surveillance functions from potential threats.
