Also known as the Forte Sabaudo, this 19th-century Piedmontese fort marks the highest point in town. Its most famous action took place in 1815 when the garrison stationed here failed to fight off a party of North African Saracen raiders. In the ensuing battle, many islanders were killed and more than 130 were taken prisoner.
