The remains of some important and striking defensive structures testify to the importance of possessing the island. The Applani Lordship followed, as did the attentions of Cosimo de Medici, who built &#8220;Cosmopoli&#8221; on top of the ruins of the Roman city of Fabricia &#8211; now the capital Portoferraio &#8211; and had it surrounded with the impressive walls that saved the inhabitans from many pirate raids. The Spaniads settled in Porto Azzurro and they too made sure to construct defenses on their territory &#8211; the imposing San Giacomo Fort still dominates the pleasant landscape.<\/p>\n<p>In the more recent history, the period that made this island famous and placed it on the world map was the brief exile of Napoleon, who stayed here for 10 month prior to his 100 days adventure which was finished in Waterloo.Bonaparte left a significant mark of his short reign: Important reforms and buildings like his Townhouse &#8220;Villa dei Mulini&#8221; in Portoferraio and his impressing summerresidence &#8220;San Martino&#8221; &#8211; which are now museums and can be visited.<\/p>\n<p>The island first opened to tourism soon after 1950 but has managed to preserve it&#8217;s waters, flora and fauna thanks to its local administration and inhabitants.<\/p>\n<p>A tiny airport services the island, permitting only small planes to land from a few privileged european cities. Most visitors arrive by car, others by train travelling to Piombino Marittima station which is very close to the ferry departures. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Island of Elba Brief information on Elba The island offers a marvellous variety of scenery, from small hidden coves to long sandy beaches; each corner of<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2503,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1615","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.belvedereelba.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.belvedereelba.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.belvedereelba.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.belvedereelba.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.belvedereelba.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1615"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.belvedereelba.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1615\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1618,"href":"https:\/\/www.belvedereelba.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1615\/revisions\/1618"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.belvedereelba.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.belvedereelba.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
