Summer at Priamar – Cinema in the Fortress
Open-air cinema under the stars of the Priamar Fortress
About Cinema in the Fortress
The big screen in the bastion by the sea
Cinema in the Fortress brings open-air cinema to one of the most evocative locations in Savona: the Piazzale del Maschio of the Priamar Fortress, the imposing fortified complex overlooking the sea. Every summer, the fortress walls provide a backdrop for a packed schedule of evening screenings.
Films of the season and "Nuove Rotte"
The program features the major films of the cinematic season, from comedies to auteur titles, alongside thematic sections like "Nuove Rotte" (New Routes), dedicated to more discerning selections. In total, there are about twenty-five to thirty screenings spread between July and August, catering to every type of viewer.
Part of Summer at Priamar
The festival is one of the cornerstones of the Summer at Priamar program, which each year animates the fortress with dozens of events including music, theater, opera, and cinema. An evening at Priamar, with a film under the stars and the sea just a stone's throw away, is one of the quintessential pleasures of a Savona summer.
