The first stone of the Falcone Fort

Cosmopoli - Portoferraio Medicea, la prima pietra di Forte Falcone

The first stone of the Falcone Fort, dated July 1549, directly introduces us to the founder of the town: the Duke of Florence Cosimo de' Medici. The coins are those placed on the Falcone memorial stone more than four centuries ago, which were found in 1934.
