Fortezza Nuova, Livorno
Facts and practical information
The New Fortress is a fortification of Livorno.
It represents the ancient "Baluardo di San Francesco" of the pentagonal city designed by Bernardo Buontalenti and originally incorporated the "Baluardo di Santa Barbera" as well, until it was partly dismantled to make way for the second accretion of the Venezia Nuova quarter. It was part of the defensive system located to the northeast of the city represented by the symmetrical Fort San Pietro d'Alcantara and the Rivellino di San Marco, located between the two fortifications, where the ancient Porta San Marco opened.
