Forte Marghera Tours

You might be free to visit today, but Forte Marghera wasn't always so welcoming! Discover the story behind this stronghold and exactly what it was built to defend.

When you've finished at this history-filled fortress in Mestre, why not make your way to Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Basilica, and St. Mark's Square? They're not far from Forte Marghera and also a favorite with many travelers.

Great location with a short walk to the vaporetto and very central to St Marks Square etc. Our room for 4 was great with 2 bathrooms and a separate sleeping area for the children. Great aircon too. Really pleased with our choice and would recommend
