In a 1701 report, the Venetian Senate was informed on the unique position of Porto Trapano ("Drepanon harbour", i.e. the bay of Vivari), urging the need to secure the harbour. As we know from a report of 1714 the fort was completed by then, "big enough for 28 pieces of artillery". - It is extremely difficult to visit the site except by boat, so the photographs were taken from the opposite shore.
