Fort Diamante

Genoa, Italy - my beautiful town

 

Fort Diamante.

The fort gets its name from the Mountain Diamante on which it was built.

The first project of the fort, dated August 1747 is signed by Sicre.

In 1756 the fort was financed by the Durazzo family with a donation of 50,000 liras. The works began in the summer of the same year. The building was finished between 1758 and 1796.
