The “Ponte dei Sospiri” (Bridge of Sighs), the old Custom House on the left, and the barracks of the “Guardia di Finanza”.The “Canale dei Francesi” (Frenchmen's Canal) was dug in 1799 by the French troops to link the Old Harbor with the New Harbor.

I love seeing the architecture in your photos.

I like all of the boats!
The Bridge of Sighs seems to be a popular name.
The whole idea of canals in a city is fascinating to me.
I would give anything for a walk there this morning rather than go to the office...
Two wonderful compositions!Love the perspective in your first picture and the Frenchmen's Canal is beautiful with all boats and reflections!
Perfect sunny day there!

Yes, the architecture keeps bringing me back to this site.
Lovely shots! I really like how nicely the boats are all lined up :D
Volti di Livorno sconosciuti...ciao, Arianna!
I didn't know you have a Ponte dei Sospiri in Livorno too!
I see two canali, whether it's water or cobblestone. Just great.
Just beautiful!
And what a nice BLUE sky you have! Enjoy!
The cobbles in the first photo are so wonderfully laid out. I can't imagine that a very large boat could fit underneath the bridge of sighs.
