The lighthouse at the northern end of the “Diga Curvilinea” (Curvilinear Breakwater), in a vintage postcard.
The same tower, seen from a different angle. A more recent structure now lies further north: the “Diga della Meloria” (Meloria Breakwater). In both images you can see old cannons recycled as bollards.

I sent myself postcards last week from Germany. Still not sure what I'll do with them all.
Love both of these shots. The postcard is especially nice because of the historical context. This is a different style of lighthouse than what you'd see here. It's quite beautiful!
It's a grand looking lighthouse.
I enjoy seeing the old postcards and the current sites.
It still looks great.
As Jack says, I also enjoy seeing old photos and current sites, in this case it seems that nothing has changed.
Ah... Love the old postcard and the memories...
Belle immagini in epoche diverse! Ciao, Arianna
An interesting juxtaposition.
Forgive me but I've spent the day Pope-watching, so your postcard looks to me like the separation wall and the guardtower where he stopped today.
It was beautiful then and it's beautiful now.
