I took these pictures from the roof terrace of a building in “Largo Bellavista” (Beautiful View Place), a tiny space off “
Viale Italia”, where practically our “lungomare” begins.
We can see in background our
aquarium, some beach resorts and the
Nazario Sauro marina.
This partly dilapidated structure is the once famous “Scoglio della Regina” (Queen's Rock) beach resort, quite fashionable in the 19th century. The distant line of rocks at sea is the
Vegliaia breakwater, protecting the entrance of the port of Livorno.
The narrow Bellana shingle beach lies between the “Scoglio” and the whitish seawalls of the “Darsena Morosini”, now part of the Benetti Shipyard. The towering “
Fanale dei Pisani” watches the entrance of the port.

VP what a great set of pictures! Love seeing the area from above.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful - all three images. The bottom one, though is very familiar to me from when we were there many times aboard Splendour of the Seas.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are helpful to see how Livorno is laid out.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are all "postcard picture perfect"...esp. the first two.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful views. Kate's right they could be postcards.
ReplyDeleteFantastic views of Livorno's coastline VP, I bet the Scolio della Regina was a fantastic place in it's heyday!!Excellent lighthouse too.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the last one, with the lighthouse! Sky and sea have the same color.
ReplyDeleteNice scenery. You could easily create a panorama from the first two photos.
ReplyDeleteWell thank you for these wonderful views. My favourite is the last one too, that's because I like the fanale dei Pisani a lot...
ReplyDelete... more beach shots, please.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great view! Have you ever posted photos of the aquarium? :-)
