Scoglio della Regina

Former sea resort Scoglio della Regina, Livorno
Last July: the buildings of the former sea resort “Scoglio della Regina” undergoing a long process of restauration.

Almost the same view in a postcard of the first years of the last century.

    I bet it will be very nice when completed. Those iron gates and "guardhouses" on either side make it look a little like a prison! ;)

    More things change; the more they stay the same. Case in point.

    I really like it when you post the then and now photos! It will look wonderful when it's restored.
