Portoferraio: The Historic Heart of Elba Island
Portoferraio’s identity has been shaped by centuries of strategic importance and cultural exchange. Founded in the 16th century by the Medici family, the town was designed as a fortified port, a role that remains visible today in its impressive defensive walls and hilltop strongholds. The Medici Fortresses—Forte Falcone, Forte Stella, and Forte Inglese—still stand watch over the harbor, offering sweeping views across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Portoferraio is also famously associated with Napoleon Bonaparte, who was exiled to Elba in 1814. His residences, now preserved as museums, add another layer of historical intrigue to the town. Walking through Portoferraio feels like moving through a living archive, where each street reveals a different chapter of Mediterranean history.
Yet Portoferraio is far from a static museum. Its marina hums with life, cafés spill onto waterfront promenades, and small beaches lie just beyond the town center. With Tour Passion managing your transportation, you are free to explore these contrasts effortlessly, without worrying about schedules, parking, or unfamiliar roads.
