St. Francis Cathedral
The Duomo in Livorno is not difficult to find: it is located on Piazza Grande, on the Via Grande of the same name. And it will not be difficult to recognize the cathedral: it has a characteristic light gray symmetrical facade and portico against the dark terracotta background of the rest of the building.
The old Fortress of Livorno
The old fortress of Livorno in the Port of Medici officially, it would seem, can be considered the same age as the city. She has witnessed all periods of its history since its foundation. Even the remains of settlements from the Bronze and Iron Ages have been found on the site where the fortress now stands.
The Museum of Natural History of the Mediterranean
The Natural History Museum of Livorno occupies the ancient Villa Henderson, located in a quiet corner on the Viale Roma, so it may not be so easy to find it. The museum was founded in 1929, after the Second World War, which led to the loss of the collection.
A new fortress and a New Venice
The new fortress in Livorno is located in a pretty area called New Venice because of, of course, the canals. Frankly speaking, this place is a long way from Venice, but it is also picturesque and pleasant enough to walk here with a camera for a longer time.
Mascagni Terrace
Mascagni Terrace in Livorno is one of the best places to walk and relax. It is located on the waterfront, which stretches from the Orlando shipyards, opened in the middle of the 19th century, to the Livorno Aquarium. It is named after Petro Mascagni, the composer and author of the famous opera “Rural Honor”.
