{"type":"Feature","properties":{"id":3102,"name":"A walk through the city centre, between history and sea foam","description":"

The ancient \u201cBiscotteria Palace<\/a><\/strong>\u201d is only a few minutes away from the docking bay.<\/p>\n

The majestic palace, built by the Grand Duke to fulfill the food requirements of his legion and citizens, is situated in the heart of the old town giving a kind of feel like you can still smell bread baking.<\/p>\n

If this imaginary scent whets your appetite, you can taste excellent and fast dishes in one of the many restaurants and bars in the nearby streets, between Garibaldi street and Piazza della Repubblica.<\/p>\n

Continuing towards \u201cpunta della Madonnina\u201d, the northern extremity of the old town, you reach \u201cForte Stella<\/a><\/strong>\u201d, which represents, together with \u201cForte Falcone<\/a><\/strong>\u201d and \u201cTorre della Linguella<\/a><\/strong>\u201d, the heart of the Medicean Fortifications<\/a><\/strong> built by Giovan Battista Bellucci and Giovanni Camerini. The view over the city and the bay as well as the bright red bricks of the Forte contrasting the blue of the waters, is worth the short walk.<\/p>\n

In a two-minute walk from \u201cForte Stella<\/a><\/strong>\u201d you will find another suggestive piece of history: the one belonging to Napoleon. \u201cVilla dei Mulini<\/a><\/strong>\u201d, built in the 1700s by Grand Duke Gian Gastone de’ Medici, was restored and chosen by Napoleon as his official residence on the island. The nineteenth-century sumptuous Empire furniture recreates the fascinating atmosphere of the Napoleonic period.<\/p>\n

Why not to end the walk and beat the summer heat by diving into the clear waters of \u201cLe Viste<\/a><\/strong>\u201d beach which is a few steps away from the Napoleonic Villa, or with an appetizer and a delicious seafood dinner by the sea?<\/p>\n","noDetails":false,"noInteraction":false,"imageGallery":[{"src":"https:\/\/cosmopoli.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/opt_RAN6551.jpg","id":3714,"caption":""},{"src":"https:\/\/cosmopoli.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/portoferraio-finestra-768x539.jpg","id":3717,"caption":""},{"src":"https:\/\/cosmopoli.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/opt_RAN6765-768x512.jpg","id":3243,"caption":""},{"src":"https:\/\/cosmopoli.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/opt_RAN7417-768x512.jpg","id":3350,"caption":""}],"image":"https:\/\/cosmopoli.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pf_slide_1-768x512.jpg","taxonomy":{"webmapp_category":[326],"activity":[320],"theme":[323],"when":[186],"who":[210]},"accessibility":{"mobility":{"check":false,"description":""},"hearing":{"check":false,"description":""},"vision":{"check":false,"description":""},"cognitive":{"check":false,"description":""},"food":{"check":false,"description":""}},"locale":"en","translations":{"it":1452},"source":"https:\/\/cosmopoli.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/track\/3102","color":"#67bb7f","from":"","to":"","ref":"","ascent":"","descent":"","distance":"","duration:forward":"","duration:backward":"","cai_scale":"","id_pois":[3765,3868,3821,4193,3828],"related":{"poi":{"neighbors":{"4720":{"distance":"4.47681170073761","webmapp_category":[327],"name":"Ape
