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.See also: Flying over Livorno - Over the Porto Mediceo - Cargo Port
