Discover the Fortezza Nuova, a magnificent Renaissance relic that transcends its martial origins to become a peaceful, verdant sanctuary within the city. This imposing, star-shaped stronghold—a masterpiece of 16th-century military engineering—rises elegantly from the water, deeply rooted in the historic waterways, or Fossi. Wander across its ancient bastions, now softened by lush greenery, and find unparalleled perspectives of Livorno's vibrant canal network. The fortress is a profound symbol of the city's ambition and defence, yet today, it offers an escape—a contemplative space where nature reclaims history.
