Province of Livorno, Administrative province in Tuscany, Italy.
The Province of Livorno is an administrative province in Tuscany that stretches along the coast with mainland areas and islands including Elba and Capraia. The territory contains diverse landscapes ranging from maritime zones to inland areas.
The territory received its provincial status in 1861, initially containing only Livorno and Elba Island. It expanded in 1925 through the addition of areas from the provinces of Pisa and Genoa.
The Costa degli Etruschi region preserves archaeological sites and old watchtowers that show centuries of Mediterranean maritime traditions. Visitors can still see traces of this past along the coast today.
The province comprises 19 municipalities with Livorno serving as the capital and primary commercial port. The region is accessible by maritime and land routes for visitors exploring different areas.
The waters near Golfo di Baratti contain iron deposits that create silver and black sand formations along the shoreline. These unusual mineral deposits shape the geological character of this coastal area.
