The Leaning Tower, the symbol of Pisa, is the most famous Italian monument in the world. Together with the Cathedral and the Baptistery, it forms part of a complex of structures that the poet D’Annunzio called “Miracles”—must-see tourist destinations.

It stands approximately 57 meters tall and was built over the course of two centuries, without ever deviating from the original design. Just five years after the cornerstone was laid, the first ground subsidence occurred, causing the tower to lean, but after several interruptions, construction continued over the decades, using techniques that were gradually refined to compensate for its tilt.

An ancient fortification from which the city’s first urban center developed. The heart and soul of Livorno’s history, it stands alongside the Medici Port.

The fortress dates back to around the 16th century, built by the Medici family, who became lords of Livorno Castle. They undertook a transformation of the existing structures that lasted over 15 years, followed by several reconstructions over the centuries, so that today it embodies the entire history of the city.
Initially, the fortress was accessible only by sea, ensuring its complete isolation.

The most charming area of Livorno, located right in the historic center. It is the only part of the city center that retained much of its original urban layout during post-war reconstruction.

A lively social hub, especially in the summer, when the “Effetto Venezia” festival is held between July and August, filling the area with performances and cultural events.

One of the most elegant and picturesque spots in Livorno. Located on the waterfront at the edge of Viale Italia. Construction began in the 1920s, and the area was greatly expanded in the postwar period.

The Forte dei Cavallegeri once stood within this area—a fortress built to defend the coast, featuring a three-story tower and a large complex of buildings. It was demolished in 1872 by the city. However, it was not transformed into a square until 1925 and expanded after the war. The Grando Hotel Palazzo is located across from it.
The square features a pavement composed largely of a checkerboard pattern of black and white tiles.
