What you can expect

  • Welcome and Introduction
    Begin your historical adventure with a meeting at the entrance to the New Fortress, where a fascinating introduction will lead you to discover the Medici origins of this imposing structure. As you cross the threshold of the Sala degli Archi, you will find yourself immersed in an atmosphere suspended in time, surrounded by brick vaults that tell of centuries of history.

    The projections and multimedia installations will accompany your route, offering you an exciting experience that will take you from the origins of Livorno to a view of the Pentagono di Buontalenti, an architectural masterpiece that continues to enchant with its brilliance and beauty.

    Walk on the Walls
    Get ready for an enchanting route among the sentry boxes and scenic walkways, where you can take in views of the Medici canals and enjoy unique views of the city and Venice. During the walk, you will learn interesting facts about the maritime and multicultural tradition of Livorno, a city rich in stories and legends.

    You will also visit the green area of the Fortress, a true natural lung in the heart of the city. Take advantage of the photo stops to capture breathtaking views of Venezia Nuova and the Medici canals.

    In addition, you'll explore the armoury and the escape route, where Livorno legends and anecdotes of daily life inside the Fortress will come to life. You will learn about its transformations over the centuries, from a military fortress to a city park.

    Multimedia Experience: “A Leap Back in Time”
    Get ready for a unique experience with VR headsets, which will allow you to immerse yourself in the reconstruction of the Fortress in the time of the Medici. Thanks to technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, you can experience the Fortress in a new way, transforming your visit into a fascinating and fun journey through time.

    Food tasting of local products
    After the walk, you will be escorted to the charming and private Sala del Forno, where you will take part in a food tasting of typical local products, accompanied by a glass of local wine. This dining experience will enrich your trip, offering you the opportunity to savour the authentic flavours of Livorno and its surroundings.
