Baluardo della Montagna, Renaissance military bastion in Ferrara, Italy.
The Baluardo della Montagna features triangular bastions and artillery positions along the northern section of Ferrara's defensive walls.
Duke Alfonso I d'Este ordered the construction of this arrow-shaped fortress between 1518 and 1520 to strengthen defenses against Venetian threats.
The park area contains a marble column with a metal cross commemorating Girolamo Savonuzzi and Arturo Torboli, executed there in 1943.
The site houses former AMGA workshops, now transformed into the Teatro Off performance space as part of the Mura Project.
The fortress integrates the city's primary water reservoir, inaugurated in 1890, which supplied drinking water through a network of fountains.
