★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cool and old, it also basically had a moat, but it's run down and dirty. Think inner city sketchy park... It's ok walking through during the day, but you wouldn't go in at night. Not that you could here, what with the moat and all

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Usually a quiet place very close to the center. It was a Fortress and still has a moat, which is a canal, around its high brick walls. A nice sight on the surrounding area from above and a lot of green.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nuova Venezia (New Venice)
In the 1620s, when Livorno needed to expand to accommodate the growing population, a new district was planned for the area between the old and new fortress. However, the area was laced with moats that surrounded the ancient city walls, and has since become important waterways for moving goods between the harbor and the warehouses next to them. So the architects borrowed construction techniques from Venice, which led to the name of this neighborhood, which means New Venice. You can tour this picturesque neighborhood on a boat tour of Fortezza Nuova - the new fortress - and follow the canal below the Piazza della Repubblica. Explore on foot to explore Santa Caterina Cathedral, with its beautiful 17th century wooden choir stalls and a large altar, Coronation of the Blessed Virgin, by Giorgio Vasari.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I'm not sure how secure this castle was in its hey day, but it's design makes it a pleasant place to visit and the views are good too.
It was extremely hot on the day of our visit and this also provided us with some respite whilst having a look round!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On a quiet Sunday this was a lovely place to have a rest in the shade, there were local dog walkers who were very respectful of those who had come to sit quietly and the views were lovely. An interesting place to look at and discover and a wonderful use of a historical building to create a wonderful public space.
A pity about garbage being left by previous visitors.
