During his time on the
island, Napoleon lived in a small house called the Villa dei Mulini. Today, the Villa
dei Mulini is a museum dedicated to Napoleon's life and legacy. The Villa dei
Mulini is located in the town of Portoferraio, on the northern coast of the island.
The house was built in the 17th century and was originally used as a mill.
Napoleon purchased the house in 1814 and had it renovated.
The villa is a fascinating place to visit for history buffs. The
house is filled with artifacts from Napoleon's life, including furniture,
paintings, and personal belongings. In addition to the Villa dei Mulini, there are a
number of other historical sites on Elba that are worth visiting. These include
the Napoleonic Fortress, the Napoleonic Museum, and the Napoleonic Gardens. The
house and nearby sites are simply a fascinating glimpse into history.
