Terrazza Mascagni Pavilion

Highlight • Monument

Spianata dei Cavalleggeri was the ancient name of the open space on which the present Terrazza Mascagni was built in 1927. The name referred to a fort, which existed here, manned by nine volunteer knights assigned to the coastal defense service and, commanded by a lieutenant.
The fort (built in 1595 and demolished in 1872), had the stables on the ground floor and the riflemen's lodgings on the first floor; in 1837 the esplanade was enlarged by filling the adjacent cove called Cala dei Cavalleggeri. From 1945 it took its name from the Livorno musician and composer Pietro Mascagni.
The seafront position, often stormy, and the intriguing checkerboard pavement make it one of the most evocative places in the city, especially at sunset, and most loved by citizens for walks along the coast in all seasons. The first film reviews in Italy took place here in the nineteenth century. At the center of this large viewpoint there is a gazebo for music, a reconstruction of the one destroyed by the war and until the 1960s it often hosted an amusement park. Finally, attached to the terrace there is also a small but interesting Aquarium.

Barriera Margherita, Livorno

Highlight • Monument

Barriera Margherita (customs barrier) is one of the few surviving Barriers of the city.
Designed by Adriano Unis, it dates back to the 1890 expansion and received this name in honor of Queen Margherita, wife of the King of Italy Umberto I.
Located along the promenade, in front of the Naval Academy, it marked the southernmost boundary of the toll-gates of the city and is characterized by two elegant symmetrical structures, consisting of a stone portico and separated by the wide Viale Italia; access was regulated by a large gate between the two buildings.
The Margherita Barrier fulfilled its function until 1912, when the walls were partially demolished. But from the 1930s to the 1960s the eastern building hosted the arrival terminus of the Livorno - Tirrenia - Pisa railway. Today it houses a nursery school.

The Casini di Ardenza

Highlight • Historical Site

Casini di Ardenza: overlook the scenic seafront of Livorno, along Viale Italia. In the 19th century Livorno became a famous summer destination sought after by the national and international bourgeoisie, particularly the English. The first bathing establishments in Italy were built right here, the building hosted wealthy tourists of various nationalities (mostly English) and was also inhabited by the Grand Duke Leopold II and his court; therefore they are also called Casini Granducali.
It was designed (and completed in 1845) in the neoclassical style then in vogue in Livorno by the architect Giuseppe Cappellini, famous above all for having designed the Goldoni Theater in Livorno. The Casini (which means stately country residence intended for leisure) are made up of 13 buildings united in a single building (for a total of 322 rooms) arranged in the shape of an omega flanked by two lateral wings and overlooking the promenade love. The main facade is characterized by a large pediment and Ionic columns, and the lateral structures show a portico with elegant Tuscan-style sandstone columns. The complex included a ballroom, a restaurant, gaming and billiard rooms, stables and an English park at the back.

Wooden statue created in the summer of 2018 by a delegation of artists from Rapa Nui, better known as Easter Island, loyal visitors to the Livorno beaches: the gift sealed the friendship between the local and Polynesian communities.
