We are going on with the
view from the Mastio of the
Fortezza Vecchia: here is the first of its the three bastions, the
Capitana, badly damaged by a huge explosion during the war. On the left we can see the
church of San Ferdinando, in the middle there is what I have called the
Isthmus of Crocetta, and on the right the
church of Santa Caterina.
Still on the land side of the fortress we have the
Ampolletta bastion. On the right, with a view on the Porto Mediceo, the
Canaviglia bastion, with on top the
Palazzo di Francesco.
