Overview

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.
