Dogana d'acqua, Customs border at Navicelli channel, Livorno, Italy

The Dogana d'acqua stands along the Navicelli channel, featuring a structure made of steel and glass integrated with historical remnants of the original building point.

Construction began in the 1830s under Grand Duke Leopold II of Tuscany to expand the free port area between Fort San Pietro and San Marco Gate.

The building represents the evolution of maritime trade control systems in Tuscany, integrating administrative functions with architectural elements of the Leopoldine Walls.

The structure underwent reconstruction in 2014 following a municipal competition, transforming it into a modern logistics technology center while preserving historical elements.

Two large docks were originally excavated around the customs post: an internal rectangular basin and an external semicircular one, both later filled for urban development.

Location: Livorno

Part of: Leopoldine Walls, Navicelli channel
