More Cannons
The first cannons recycled as bollards we have seen were those around the North Lighthouse. There are many more around the South Lighthouse at the other end of the “Diga Curvilinea” (Curvilinear Breakwater).
Two more cannons are quite at hand at the entrance of the Porto Mediceo: one is just past the pilots' boats, the other lies by the green light of the port.

Love that lighthouse! And the green light. Glad that the old canons have been repurposed.
Sort of like swords into ploughshares. :-)
Reuse and recycle! ;-))
That's quite a different use. I really like the setting.
Bang!
The buildings and lighthouse are massive and heavy with stones.
Cannons to bollards? That is not a use I would have come up with.
That's alot of rust.
I like the idea of recycling cannons. Make barriers, not war.
I wish we had so many old cannons to repurpose like that.
Did they really put a solar panel on the lighthouse?
Love these shots VP.
This is a good use of old cannons.
Love the first shot !
The lighthouse is very different from ay I have ever seen! It's very attractive!
How interesting! Clever idea.
Many of London's bollards are recycled old canons. A much better use of them in my opinion.
