Description
Phirka fort. M. Andrianakis reports on excavation and continuing repairs to the fort of Rivellino del Porto (Fig. 1). In continuous use since its construction under Enrico Pescatore in the early 13thcentury AD, it has undergone many alterations. It was initially built on two levels (the piazza alta and piazza bassa). On the upper level is a large vaulted cistern and a large (once-paved) courtyard; below, successive drainage systems removed rain-water from the fort. The latest of these drainage systems was built of the Vesuvian black stone known to have been used in the harbour works of the late 19th century.
