Savona - Walls, towers and gates

Torre del Brandale

The Tower was built around the 11th century and was one of the most important in the city at that time. After it was purchased by the municipality at the beginning of the 14th century, it had several modifications: the bell was added to it and was lowered more than 20 meters, which changed its original appearance. On the façade are the illustration of the Virgin and the coats of arms of the feuds reached the domination of the locality in the '300.

Genoa - Walls, towers and gates

Forte San Giuliano

Fort San Giuliano was raised between 1819 and 1836, on the coast of Genoa that went between the promontory of San Giuliano and Punta Vagno. As can be seen, the fort takes its name from the homonymous promontory. The fort was built with the aim of protecting the east coast of Genoa from the landings of enemies. The structure was composed of two barracks and surrounded by a moat. Part of the structural body was also the drawbridge that is still present with the relative drive mechanisms.
