The Forte Belvedere or Fortezza di Santa Maria in San Giorgio del Belvedere (often called simply Belvedere) is a fortification in Florence, Italy. It was built by Grand Duke Ferdinando I de' Medici during the period 1590--1595, with Bernardo Buontalenti as the designer, to protect the city and the Medici rule thereover. In particular, it was used to hold the Medici treasury.
