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.

This is a really cool series looking down from above. So much history!
What pretty views!
A view you can study for ages!
Nice! It always helps to see things from above.
I like it how all the roofs have the same colour.
Ahhhh! I'm happy that we're seeing more!
So much damage happens during war. I'm pleased to see that much has survived though!
