Fosso Reale, Historic moat in Livorno, Italy.
The Fosso Reale forms a pentagonal shape around the city center of Livorno, connecting the Fortezza Nuova with the Fortezza Vecchia through its waterways.
Construction of the canal began in 1577 under the Medici family, requiring the labor of 5,000 slaves and 2,000 peasants before completion in 1609.
The canal's banks feature notable architectural structures including Palazzo Squilloni, Palazzo Reggio, and Palazzo Maurogordato, representing different historical periods.
Visitors can explore the canal through boat tours called Giro in Batello, which depart regularly from designated points along the waterway.
Piazza della Repubblica spans across the Fosso Reale and holds the distinction of being the largest bridge structure in Europe.
