Forte Sperone is a fortification included in the "New Walls" built to defend the Italian city of Genoa, located on top of Mount Peralto.

The presence of a Ghibelline fortress at the location, built initially of wood and then of stone, called "Bastia del Peralto", has been documented since 1319.

After the end of the war, the construction of the actual fort began: with progressive extensions which lasted until 1830, the structure assumed the aspect that we can still observe today.

The entrance portal, surmounted by a Savoy coat of arms in marble, is equipped with a drawbridge, still present with its lifting mechanism to this day.

In 1823, a special commission prepared the plans for a project, never carried out (probably due to the very high cost that it would have entailed), to integrate the three fortifications of Peralto (Castellaccio, Sperone, and Begato) into a single citadel.
