Portoferraio

Portoferraio is a small town in Elba and is a touristic resort all year round. According to mythology, it was Portoferraio the place where the Argonauts arrived, the Greek heroes that were in search of the golden fleece.

The name “Portoferraio” derives from the mines that enriched this area during the XIX Century. Napoleon Bonaparte moved to Portoferraio in 1815 and changed it radically, transforming it in a huge construction site in order to turn it into a real pearl. Napoleon benefit from the industry and also enriched the town with public works that made it even more beautiful. Portoferraio, then, became property of Granducato di Toscana.
In Portoferraio there are many proofs of Napoleon’s life. Here, you can visit San Marino Residence and Villa dei Mulini.
The landscape of this town is fascinating even before reaching it: its bastions make it look like a fortress overlooking the sea, jealously hiding the old town centre. The city offers an important Archeologic Museum that holds many evidences of the past and that is an unmissable destination for the subject enthusiasts.
