Portoferraio is an Elban city whose historic centre preserves the municipal identity of Cosmopoli, a Renaissance fortified foundation dated by the Comune to 1548 under Cosimo I de' Medici.
Its historic fortified system includes distinct places such as Forte Falcone, Forte Stella and Linguella. Palazzina dei Mulini, within the city, is one of the two National Museums of the Napoleonic Residences of Elba; city, island, forts, residences, port and archaeology need separate coverage.
