Patrimoniul maritim din Livorno

Maritime Heritage

Livorno’s maritime identity is defined by its defensive structures and navigational aids. This selection features the 16th-century Old and New Fortresses, which once protected the Medici port. The city's navigational history is represented by the historic Fanale di Livorno and the active lights on the Diga Curvilinea breakwater. The Diacinto Cestoni Aquarium, situated on the scenic Terrazza Mascagni, showcases Mediterranean marine life and conservation efforts, illustrating the evolution of this significant Mediterranean port.
