Description
An old fortress and the reflections in the water of its rusty orange brick walls in a canal that stands at the edge of the Medicean Port of Livorno, Italy, dating back to the late 1300's.
This fortress is an asymmetrical shape and consists of three bastions (the Ampolletta facing the city, the Canaviglia towards the port and the Capitana to the north east). Initially it was planned to have a fourth facing northwest towards the open sea.

WOW factor, Sue, as I love historic sights and old castles and fortresses, and this one is awesome! Love it! Thanks much for sharing the photo and the description! One problem is with learning, is that one gets too soon old and too late smart! LOL Love it! Fave and Vote
