Facts and practical information

Forte Tenaglia is a fortified work dating back to 1633, originally included in the course of the "New Walls" defending the city, on the heights of Sampierdarena on a ridge overlooking the Polcevera valley. It owes its name to the particular architectural conformation that resembles a pincer, a work that in military architecture is called a "horn work."
