The three Landmarks of Portoferraio are the Romans, the Medici and Napoleon. Your guide will be able to connect these grand periods during the tour. This is a complete cultural experience without many dates and names but a lot of anecdotes, curiosities and some dark details of The Medici family, that founded Cosmopoli (Portoferraio). The tour offers amazing photographic view points. During this walk you will be able to see the old town mounting and descending the pink stoned stairs, where you can see the 18th century Theatre, the XVI century barracks, the old bread factory and the churches of the White and Black Guelfi papal party.

The fort was build by Cosimo I of The Medici family in 1548, it is one of the landmarks of the town. The structure is an amazing military architecture, just to mention some small details all the loopholes have a distinct direction to be able to see the sea and the land from every angle. The Fort can be seen from the outside or can be visited internally, where you will see the galleries that were turned into the quarters of the Royal Marine during World War II. There are also the XVI century underground tunnels and the beltway that offer astonishing views on the archipelago.
Napoleon Buonaparte stood in his first exile, 1814, on the island for 10 months, he was recognised as Elba sovereign of the island, his main residence was the Palazzina dei Mulini, in the old town between the fortresses which comprehends his apartments, his sister's apartment and a lovely garden overlooking the sea inside the walls.
In the downtown, at the bottom of the fishing harbour, you will see the Tower della Linguella which is the focal point of the fortification on the sea protecting the harbour. The tower is an elegant Renaissance building surrounded by the ruin of a roman villa, next to the archaeological museum with artifacts of the Roman and Etruscan civilization.

About Isola d'Elba
Elba is the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, with beaches, mountain trails, old iron mines and the villas where Napoleon lived in exile.
Elba lies off the Tuscan coast, the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago and the third largest in Italy. Its main town, Portoferraio, is a harbour ringed by Medici fortresses, and above it stand the villas where Napoleon lived during his exile in 1814 and 1815. The island has been mined for iron since Etruscan times, and the ground near Rio Marina still shows rust-red earth.
