Historic places and archaeological sites on the Island of Elba

Symbolic places of famous people and ancient civilizations

Walking through the towns of the Island of Elba, one can retrace the steps of famous names and great civilizations. Barracks, arsenals, prisons, but also houses and streets, tell exemplary stories of public and private lives, broken and fulfilled dreams, utopias and defeats.

They tell us how the mother of an emperor never left her son, how an entire town took the name of its creator, and how the dreams of notable figures intertwined with the simple lives of Elba's inhabitants.
