Etruscan Riviera - from Livorno to Piombino

The Etruscan Riviera stretches between Livorno and Piombino. This part of the Tuscan coast is famous for its very interesting terrain , grottos, volcanic rock caverns and numerous archaeological remains.

Livorno is one of the most important Italian ports. Its most interesting part, the old town, is located between two water channels . On the main shopping avenue, we can see historic, high and restored tenement houses , many of them with arcades and huge windows. There is a huge port next to the old town. We will find there numerous and extremely interesting monuments, such as the famous 17th-century bronze and marble statue of Quattro Mori , the statue of the four Moors, the Cathedral of St. Francis built in the sixteenth century and the so-called Fortezza Vecchia (old fortress from 1481) and Fortezza Nova (new fortress with a 16th-century construction).

Piombino is the town where the Etruscan Riviera ends. It is a large, port and industrial city with a picturesque old town and a beautiful view of Elba . Piombino's showcase is Piazza Bovio , a representative square built on a rocky promontory. It is worth seeing a castle built in the 13th century , rebuilt in later years under the supervision of Leonardo da Vinci . Currently, there is a municipal museum there.
