This striking synagogue is both an important piece of Livorno’s Jewish history and a spectacular site to behold.

When visiting Piazza Grande, it is impossible to miss this large white building, which actually divides Livorno’s central square in two.

Surrounded by shopping, dining and recreational destinations, this square is the heart of Livorno. Many don’t know that it is also a bridge in disguise.

This monument, which is considered to be the symbol of Livorno, is both an ode to human suffering and a breathtaking piece of art.

While it was once integral to Livorno’s security, this fortress is now a beautiful place to take in vistas of the city below.

You can browse the exhibits at Museo Mascagnano, a museum with a story of its own, during your trip to Livorno. Stroll along the seaside in this culturally rich area or visit its top-notch restaurants.
