Venice played a special role in the development of the so- called bastion system of fortification at the end of the 15th century. One of more widely known architects — constructors of the fortification of Venetian tracks of that period was Michele Sanmicheli. His work was the fort of Sant' Andrea built in 1545—1949, situated on one of the islands in Venetian Lagoon. Its objective was to protect the entrance to St Mark's basin against the attack from the sea. The plan of the port was very original and resulted from a longish shape of the island. This historical structure is at present subjected to preservation techniques within the programme of the protection of Venice against the sea flood. An essential element of this protection is a partition made of high-diameter concrete poles. In future this fort is to be adapted and will serve as a yachting centre.
