Riserva naturale Calafuria, State nature reserve along Mediterranean coast in Livorno, Italy.
The protected area spans 116 hectares of Mediterranean scrubland, featuring sandstone cliffs that extend from the Livorno Mountains to the sea.
The Medici family constructed two defensive towers in the 16th century, the Boccale Tower and Calafuria Tower, to guard against pirate raids.
Researchers have identified multiple prehistoric settlements dating to the Paleolithic period within the boundaries of the current reserve.
Marked trails throughout the reserve lead visitors to natural pools, hidden beaches, and observation points overlooking the Tuscan Archipelago.
The reserve contains distinctive sandstone formations called Panchina Livornese, displaying characteristic ochre and red colors against the coastline.
