This post brings to mind the proverb "Still waters run deep," meaning that a person who says very little often has a very thoughtful, interesting, and complicated personality.
Ciao VP...This is history in a photograph...and the reflection is excellent. How old is this struture? Is all of the masonry original or do I see possible repairs...hits that it took from cannon or mortar? And the huge crack from top to bottom...possibly/probably from settling in the water. I'm sure Livorno was defended magnificently from this fort!
@ Theanne - I have already posted many times about the fortress and to avoid boring repetitions I usually put in the text some links to the older posts. In this case click on 'Capitana' and 'Fortezza Vecchia' and you will get a dozen posts with the history of the fortress. The several hundred years old bastion succumbed only in the last war to some Allied bombs hitting German ammunitions stored inside.

A cornerstone, stronger than time.
Please have a good Thursday.

A grand, reflective photo! I wonder if it's sinking at all....

I love the rustic warmth of this old stonework. Wonderful image.
Grazie VP...I apologize, I normally click on links, today for some reason I didn't!
Fantastic! Great shot, VP.
Un bellissimo pezzo di storia! Buon fine settimana, Arianna!
