Portovenere - Italy

A month ago I was packing for my trip to Italy. One month later I already feel like going on holidays again... but no, that won't happen so soon!! Anyway, Portovenere wasn't in my initial plan but ended up being one of the places I liked the most on this trip. Medieval town, UNESCO site, colorful port, a castle, churches, my kind of place.

Portovenere, a small town in Liguria, is one of the most beautiful places on the west coast of Italy. In 1997 Portovenere and the villages of Cinque Terre were designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. 
Church of San Pietro seems to be a large castle fortified with towers and high ancient walls, but actually it is a very beautiful and old church built in 1198.
