Livorno

 

Port of Livorno. The port is a truly impressive and monumental place and it is one of the busiest and most productive ports in Italy.

Today it is possible to stroll through the grounds, explore several passages and walk through the battlements to admire beautiful views of the canals and city.

 

New Venice. The area around Fortezza Nuova is known as Nuova Venezia and this is due to the many canals that line the streets. From here, you can admire the beautiful waterways and small sailboats that line the canals.

 

Via Grande. This wide and important street runs from the roundabout near the port to the impressive Republic Square, and down this stretch you will find a number of shops and restaurants, as well as several important structures and squares.

 

Terrace of Mascagni. One of the best places to walk and relax. It is located on the waterfront that stretches from the Orlando shipyards, opened in the middle of the 19th century, to the Livorno Aquarium. It is named after Petro Mascagni, the composer and author of the famous opera Rural Honor.

 

Cathedral of Saint Francis. It is located in Piazza Grande. The cathedral has a characteristic light gray symmetrical facade and a portico against the background of the dark terracotta other parts of the building.

Museum of Natural History of the Mediterranean. The Natural History Museum of Livorno is housed in the historic Villa Henderson, quietly located on Viale Roma. The museum was founded in 1929 after World War II, which led to the loss of the collection.

 

Pisa

Cathedral of St. Mary Assunta. The Cathedral is a wonderful structure and absolutely essential when visiting Pisa. The construction of this amazing cathedral began in the 11th century and was completed in 1092. The cathedral's front façade is truly richly decorated with a series of beautiful stone and marble arches and three sumptuous bronze doors.

 

Leaning Tower of Pisa. Overall, this is the main reason people visit Pisa, and it is a structure known throughout the world. The Cathedral of Pisa is a beautiful structure in itself, but it became famous for its noticeable slope. To this day, the tower is still tilted and measures have been taken to ensure it collapses. Aside from posing for fun photos, the architecture of the tower is actually fantastic and the 6 rows of stone arches are just beautiful.

 

Baptistery. This huge 54-meter-high structure has a magnificent exterior design with many different statues, arches and ornaments. In addition, the domed roof of the baptistery is only half completed - half is covered with orange tiles, and the other half is bare and never finished.

 

National Museum. The National Museum of Pisa, located on the banks of the Arno River, is the most valuable museum in the city. Stunning artifacts and sculptures are on display here.

 

Santa Maria della Spina. Although this church is indeed quite small, it is considered one of the most beautiful in Pisa due to its rich design and location on the riverbank. Originally built in the 13th century, the building is in the Gothic style with a number of sumptuous pointed gables.

 

Palazzo dei Cavalieri. Knights' Square is one of the main squares in Pisa, and the Palazzo dei Cavalieri is a beautiful palace that is a central attraction. This palace was built in the 16th century and was originally the headquarters of the Knights of St. Stephen.

 

Ponte di Mezzo bridge. One of the most beautiful and outstanding bridges in Pisa, overlooking the Arno River. This bridge is 89 meters long and was built in 1947.

 

Florence

Signoria Square and Loggia Lanzi. This beautiful square sits right in front of Palazzo Vecchio and houses many amazing statues such as the copy of David and the fountain of Neptune.
