Forte Sperone is located on the top of Monte Peralto and is part of Genoa's network of nineteenth-century fortifications. From here you have control of both Val Bisagno and Val Polcevera.

Hiking

Forte Sperone is currently in a state of neglect, therefore it can be visited 24/7.
The only way to access it is to take the short stretch of paved road …

Hiking

The fort is completely abandoned and open to explore 24/7. Head to the main gate, which is locked, then walk 20 meters to the left. There is a low wall you can hop over. From there the Fortress is your playground.
