Its sandy beaches and ragged crags make it the isle for everyone. Thanks to its 86.1 sq. miles it is also the largest of Italy's minor islands. There is a maximum length of 16.7 miles from Capo d'Ortano to Punta Nera and a maximum width of 11.1 miles from Capo San Vito to Punta dei Ripalti. In order to see the entire panorama you have to reach the top of Monte Capanne (1019 m). Portoferraio is the main city of this island which is divided morphologically into three parts: the western side is of volcanic origin and higher in elevation; the central part is either
flat or with low hills; the eastern side includes the minerary area. Its millenary history was written by the Etruscans and by the Romans. The Etruscans were the first to exploit its metals, while the Romans called it Ilva and built sumptuous villas on it (the best preserved example is Villa delle Grotte in Portoferraio). But it was undoubtedly Napoleon who left the most significant mark on the island, after being exiled there in 1814. Today it is a top tourist destination. Portoferraio was founded in 1514 on the remains of a Roman port and was protected by Forte del Falcone, Forte Stella and by Torre Linguella. There are 7 other villages nearby: Campo dell'Elba, Porto Azzurro, Rio Marina, Marciana, Capoliveri, Marciana Marina and Rio nell'Elba. The island has a total population of 28000 inhabitants and there is a paved road network of 99.4miles; therefore the car is the most practical way of visiting the island due to its size.
