Livorno

Sprawled along a picturesque coast carved by the sea, Livorno is a colorful tapestry woven with sandy strips of land, architectural marvels, religious gems and cultural landmarks which hark back to the past. Behold quaint houses built into steep cliffsides, or walk along the pristine shore to admire the enchanting beauty of the city's coastal areas. While points of interest such as the bustling main port or Terrazza Mascagni dazzle visitors with splendid views of the sea, offering a glimpse at the city's natural heritage, historic structures constructed closer to its center afford a deeper insight into its Medieval and Medicean past. Notable sights include the Venezia Nuova, Piazza della Repubblica, and Sanctuary of Montenero.
