Cittadella Nuova, Public garden and national heritage site in Pisa, Italy
The Cittadella Nuova occupies a strategic position along the Arno River, between the Ponte della Vittoria and Ponte della Fortezza bridges in Pisa.
The Florentine administration initiated the construction of Cittadella Nuova in 1440, transforming it into one of the first Italian fortresses designed to withstand cannon attacks.
The garden space within the fortification was created in the early nineteenth century by architect Giovanni Caluri for Domenico Scotto, a merchant from Livorno.
The public garden hosts theatrical performances, concerts, and open-air cinema events during summer months, providing entertainment options for visitors and residents.
After the Scotto family purchased the fortress in 1798, they established a palace with extensive green spaces, though the building was later destroyed during World War II.
