San Giorgio Castle is located on a hill overlooking La Spezia. It is a fortified castle dating from the 1200s, although most of the construction dates back to the 1600s. The castle houses an archaeological museum with a good collection of Roman artifacts.

 

Technical Naval Museum. Lovers of military and naval history, as well as children who like large guns and cannons, will enjoy this small museum. It also has a good collection of ship models.

 

Church of Santa Maria Assunta. This abbey church dates from at least the early 1400s, although it was almost completely destroyed during the bombing of World War II. It was restored and consecrated in 1954. Fortunately, many of her invaluable works of art were preserved during the war years, including the terracotta relief sculptures by Andrea Della Robbia.

 

Civico Amedeo Lia Museum. This art museum displays works from antiquity to the 20th century that were once part of the private collection of La Spezia resident Amedeo Lia. The collection includes ancient Roman sculptures, religious works and paintings by Titian, Tintoretto, and Italian futurists.

 

Bay of Poets. The bay is so named because it has been a place of inspiration for several English romantic poets. It is very beautiful and stunning in its views. Consider hiring a boat for a do-it-yourself or charter tour of the bay.
