It was built by the Spaniards in the second half of the sixteenth century, due to its location it constituted one of the strategic points of the entire defensive system of the State of the Garrisons.
Its shape is a six-pointed star. The entire structure is surrounded by a moat and the access door is preceded by a stone bridge which replaced the ancient drawbridge in modern times.
The natural lighting of the internal environments is provided by a hexagonal-shaped opening that opens in the center of the terrace on the top of the Fort. Inside, exhibitions and cultural events are held. Its visit is permitted from May 1st to June 30th on weekends and from July 1st to September 30th every day. The entrance ticket costs 2 euros. From 1 October to 31 December visits are permitted upon request from the municipal administration.
It can be reached by taking the panoramic road, leaving the town of Porto Ercole behind you, after a couple of kilometers you will come across a deviation to the right for Forte Stella.
You can admire a wonderful panorama from a turtle-shaped island right below us.
