Today I take you with me to one of my favorite places, Livorno, a Tuscan city overlooking the sea, with a long history behind it, a place that for centuries has been a port city, a source of trade and commerce, and today also a port of important cruise ships, a coastal city where illustrious governments and many beautiful initiatives have followed one another. It is one of my favorite seaside places in Tuscany, not because there is the best sea even if not far away there are beautiful beaches such as Calafuria and other pretty coves, but because it has one of the most beautiful terraces overlooking the sea, the Terrazze Mascagni, the one white and black that you see in the photos, the terrace borders Piazzale Mascagni, a destination for walks along the seafront for Livorno residents and tourists. The terrace as it is now was built around 900 precisely to make the city more beautiful, before there was an amusement park much appreciated by the citizens and in ancient times there were fortifications, today Livorno also has a magnificent fortress which however this time I couldn't visit. The Terrace is dedicated to Mascagni, a well-known local composer.
The terrace is often subject to violent sea storms especially in winter and is often restored and tidied up, luckily when we went there, despite the rough weather, the water barely wet the terrace and it could be visited without the need to get wet.

Hoy os llevo conmigo a uno de mis lugares favoritos, Livorno, una ciudad toscana frente al mar, con una larga historia a sus espaldas, un lugar que durante siglos ha sido ciudad portuaria, fuente de comercio y comercio, y hoy también un puerto de importantes cruceros, una ciudad costera donde se han sucedido gobiernos ilustres y muchas hermosas iniciativas. Es uno de mis lugares costeros favoritos en Toscana, no porque tenga el mejor mar aunque no muy lejos hay hermosas playas como Calafuria y otras bonitas calas, sino porque tiene una de las terrazas más hermosas con vista al mar, la Terrazze Mascagni, la blanca y negra que ves en las fotos, la terraza bordea Piazzale Mascagni, un destino de paseo por el paseo marítimo para residentes y turistas de Livorno. La terraza tal como está ahora fue construida alrededor del año 900 precisamente para embellecer la ciudad, antes había un parque de atracciones muy apreciado por los ciudadanos y en la antigüedad había fortificaciones, hoy Livorno también tiene una magnífica fortaleza que sin embargo esta vez pude No lo visites. La Terraza está dedicada a Mascagni, un conocido compositor local.
La terraza suele estar sujeta a fuertes tormentas marinas, especialmente en invierno, y suele ser restaurada y limpiada, por suerte cuando fuimos allí, a pesar del mal tiempo, el agua apenas mojó la terraza y se pudo visitar sin necesidad de mojarse.

Luckily we were in the car and after taking a walk and taking some photos of the beautiful terrace with the winter sea crashing on it, we headed a little further up towards the Calafuria tower to see it and take some photos, as I have already told you. mentioned Calafuria is one of the most beautiful places in Livorno, the tower was a lookout tower and was included in a complex of defense towers and fortifications on the coast, built around the seventeenth century as well as having defensive purposes it was also useful for the captaincy of port and also an art studio for a British artist.
The view of the Calafuria tower with the sea is truly magnificent, a fascinating vision that we did not fail to photograph, a shame that the weather combined with the sea breeze was chilly and bothered us otherwise we could have stayed longer. If you come to Tuscany you can't miss these places!

Por suerte íbamos en el coche y después de dar un paseo y hacer unas fotos de la preciosa terraza con el mar invernal rompiendo en ella, nos dirigimos un poco más arriba hacia la torre de Calafuria para verla y hacer algunas fotos, como ya os he contado. tú. La mencionada Calafuria es uno de los lugares más bellos de Livorno, la torre era una torre de vigilancia y estaba incluida en un complejo de torres de defensa y fortificaciones en la costa, construida alrededor del siglo XVII además de tener fines defensivos también sirvió para la capitanía de puerto y también estudio de arte de un artista británico.
La vista de la torre de Calafuria con el mar es realmente magnífica, una visión fascinante que no dejamos de fotografiar, una pena que el tiempo combinado con la brisa del mar fuera frío y nos molestara, sino nos hubiéramos quedado más tiempo. ¡Si vienes a la Toscana no te puedes perder estos lugares!
