Hiking
The least preserved of the three Spanish-era forts in Porto Ercole, Fort Santa Caterina is privately owned.
From Fort Fillipo, you can admire the stone and whitewashed plaster walls of this pentagonal fort, protected from the sea by another reinforced stone wall.
The parapet, arrow slits, and windows visible on the exterior wall were once used to house gunboats.
