Forte Michelangelo
Fort Michelangelo is a fortress that protects the port of Civitavecchia, in the metropolitan city of Roma Capitale.
The fortress was begun in 1508 and completed in 1537 under the pontificate of Paul III, under the direction of Antonio da Sangallo the Younger. An unsupported local tradition would have it that the keep, that is, the main tower of the fortress, was designed by Michelangelo Buonarroti, hence the name Forte Michelangelo.
