Meloria

[Photos by Maurizio]
In 1284 the battle of Meloria marked the end of the power of Pisa, so this is a place where the Livornesi happily gather to enjoy the sea and the memories.The islets aren't more than rocks in the sea, surrounded by a shoal.A relatively more recent lighthouse stands on one of the islets, opposite the old tower. In background you can see Livorno, the coast and the hills.
