The Annunziata Fort was built, at the behest of the Savoy government, between 1831 and 1837 in order to strengthen the western border of its domains. 

From its parade ground an extraordinary view opens up which includes, to the west, the plain of Latte, the Hanbury botanical gardens and the Balzi Rossi caves, up to Cap Esterel; to the east, the modern city, beyond which the remains of the Roman municipium are preserved and the gaze can be pushed towards the tip of Sant'Ampelio in Bordighera, to get lost rotating in the marine horizon.
