Fort San Felice, Military fort in Chioggia, Italy
The star-shaped fort spans 25,000 square meters and contains multiple buildings within its ramparts at the entrance of the Venetian lagoon.
Construction of Fort San Felice began in 1538, with significant improvements made in 1806 under French control to enhance the defense system.
The monumental portal, designed by Andrea Tirali in 1704, features Istrian stone in Doric style and marks the grand entrance to the fortress.
Visitors can reach the fort via road SS309 from Marghera to Chioggia, followed by a 550-meter walk from the parking area on Via S. Felice.
The fort sits on a barena, a typical lagoon semi-submerged terrain, which has required constant maintenance due to moisture infiltration in the walls.
