Forte Lorenese, also known as “fortino“, is a coastal fortification in the center of Forte dei Marmi.
It was built in the eighteenth century by the Lorraines, to defend and look out along the northern coast of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. In addition to its military and health defense function, the fort was also used as a marble warehouse during the period in which the wharf was used as a commercial port for white stone.
After a period of inactivity, today it houses the Museum of satire and caricature.
