Here is the “
Fortezza Nuova” (New Fortress), a structure sadly closed to the public since January 2009. Below, we can barely see on the left the “
Canale dei Navicelli” and, facing the larger basin, “
Palazzo Stub”. On the right we have the polygonal dome of the church of “
Santa Caterina”. On the left side of the fortress the “
Scali delle Cantine” lead us to
Garibaldi square, flanked on its right by the larger “
Piazza della Repubblica” with the statues of the
Two Grand Dukes. Just above lies the picturesque turn in the canal featured in the first picture of
Cloudy Day.

A great sky view!
That really is an amazing view.
Well done, VP. I recognized the piazza with the two grand dukes immediately.
Soon you will be competing with Google maps! Great aerial view and info.
It's a pity the fortress has been closed: it seems a nice place to walk. Nice photo and very informative post, VP!
