10 Museums in Elba Island That You Shouldn't Miss

January 20, 2022 Emerita Lamoureux

Best known as the site of Napoleon’s exile, Elba’s long history stretches back to pre-Roman times, when it was settled by Ligures and then Etruscans. It’s Tuscany’s biggest island and Italy’s third-largest, offering a great mix of options both cultural (like hilltop towns and castles) and recreational (like hiking, biking, swimming, diving and beaching). There’s an airport at Marina di Campo, but most arrive by ferry from Piombino to Portoferraio (the biggest town), Rio Marina or Porto Azzurro.

Palazzina dei Mulini

The official residence of Napoleon and his sister Paolina. The palace contains many personal items and other relics of the period.

Reviewed By SaveyFLTraveler

Napoleon was detained here in 1814, and joined by his sister Pauline. His rooms are on display with access to the gardens overlooking the sea. When I was there, several townspeople were dressed in period time clothing, which added a nice touch. There are some nice portraits of Napoleon and the furniture was mostly made in Lucca. Definitely worth a visit. You need to climb some stairs to get up to the buildings.
