Forte Boccea is one of the 15 forts of Rome, built in the period between 1877 and 1891 as a part of the "entrenched field of Rome".
It is located in Rome (Italy), in the Suburb S. IX Aurelio, within the Municipio XIII.

History
The fort was built starting from 1877 and completed in 1881, on an area of 7.3 ha (18 acres), at the first km of Via di Boccea, from which it takes its name.
It was used as a military remand prison until 2005; in 2013 a resolution was approved, establishing its conversion into a park for cultural initiatives.[1] General Mario Carloni was a prisoner there from 1946 to 19 May 1951.
