The chains of the port of Pisa in memory of the Battle of Meloria in Moneglia.
I discovered recently that in Moneglia there are some links of the chains of the port of Pisa, defeated by Genoa in the famous Battle of Meloria.
And, in addition to the chain, also a bas-relief and a plaque that tell the reason for their presence in the Levantine village.

If you have any questions or anecdotes about the tombstone or the battle of Meloria, add a comment. comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

I took several photos in the village and if you want to see them all click here:

The Battle of Meloria was a historic naval battle involving the fleet of the Republic of Genoa and that of the Maritime Republic of Pisa. The battle, which took place on August 6, 1284 off the coast of Porto Pisano, greatly weakened the Pisan naval fleet, beginning the slow decline of Pisa as a maritime power in Italy during the Middle Ages.
