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 , caves, 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 canals . On the main shopping avenue we can see historic, tall and restored tenement houses , many of them with arcades and huge windows. There is a huge port next to the old town. There are numerous and extremely interesting monuments there, e.g. the famous 17th-century bronze and marble statue of Quattro Mori , the monument of the four Moors, the Cathedral of St. Francis built in the 16th century and the so-called Fortezza Vecchia (old fortress from 1481) and Fortezza Nova (new fortress with 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 . The showpiece of Piombino is Piazza Bovio , a representative square built on a rocky promontory. It is worth seeing the castle there, built in the 13th century and rebuilt in later years under the supervision of Leonardo da Vinci . Currently, there is a city museum there.
