Description
The Italian Riviera village of Portovenere sits on a rocky peninsula on the Gulf of Poets in the Gulf of La Spezia. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has a harbor lined with brightly colored houses and narrow medieval streets leading up the hill to a Doria Castle. The picturesque San Pietro Church sits on the promontory, once the site of a temple to Venus (Venere in Italian) from which Portovenere gets its name.
