The Venezia district and the two fortresses

Start at the Fontane dei mostri marini (Sea Monster Fountains), continue to the Quattro Mori (Four Moors) in front of the Darsena Vecchia, and enter the Venezia district: canals that the people of Livorno call ‘fossi’, bridges such as the one of San Giovanni Nepomuceno, and old merchants’ palaces. The walk links the Fortezza Vecchia, on the Porto Mediceo, with the Fortezza Nuova, which today is also a public park. On the scali delle Pietre you will find the mural ‘Fiori di glicine’ by Ligama.

Suggested time: 60–120 min

Still to be checked

  • Opening times for the inside of the Fortezza Vecchia, and whether it is open, are not verified here. The Comune indicates access for people with disabilities from the Corridoio gallerie, with a lift.
  • At the Fortezza Nuova the Comune indicates a ramp from the garden and raised paths suitable for wheelchairs.
  • The time shown is a suggestion for walking and making stops, not a route calculation.
  • With an orange alert the Comune may close parks and some facilities, as it did with the order of 7 October 2026: check the Comune’s news before going out.
