Sunset on Elba 

The Island of Elba is the third largest Italian island after Sicily and Sardinia and is the largest in the Tuscan Archipelago. Elba has a coastline of 147 km.  Elba is especially remembered for having been the home of Napoleon Bonaparte during his 1814 exile. Eight picturesque little towns (Portoferraio, Marciana, Marciana Marina, Campo nell'Elba, Capoliveri, Porto Azzurro, Rio nel'Elba and Rio Marina) are scattered over a rugged land, hilly and mountainous for the most part with the main mountain (Monte Capanne) 1019 metres high,

A view on the Castle of Volterraio with in the back Portoferraio. The Castle of Volterraio dates back to about the year 1000. It was made bigger and stronger between 1281 and 1440 by the Pisans who used it solely as a military defence and is one of the few fortresses in Elba that the Turkish pirates never managed to enter, despite their numerous and frequent raids on the Island

In 1798, French troops based in Portoferraio further strengthened the stronghold, but a civic uprising half-destroyed the complex, and from that moment it was definitively abandoned. It has been recently restored and can now be visited and after the visit, one can enjoy the  beautiful view on Elba.
