La Spice is the most important Naval Center of Italy on the Ligurian Sea coast. MNGO in the city is connected with the sea and the fleet, but there is no beach and swimming places, probably because of the fact that ships are standing along the coast. Nevertheless, this does not change the charm and attractiveness of the city at all. Despite nothing, the proud is very cute, cozy and so much warm, that even rain will not spoil impressions.
Let even the shore completely filled with yachts, ships and other aquatic types of transport, but one pleasure walking along the embankment. There are such replete palm trees and very beautiful alleys, and which landscapes open!
But La Spice is not only the ships of the sea of the embankment and palm trees, there is still a lot of interesting things, what is necessary to see.
Probably, no Italian city costs without a monument to Garibaldi, especially in La Spice - the sea city, it is almost right on the embankment.
Walking along the embankment and having risen the fresh air, it is worth going to the main attraction of the city - San George Castle - This is the oldest architectural landmark of the city. The castle was built in 1262 on a Pozho hill with a strategic goal - to protect the city, precisely for this purpose, the castle has such strong high walls. You can get into the castle through the North and West entrances, the emblem of Genoa is depicted over Western - over the years for possession of the city, different clans fought, apparently the last owner of the castle there were immigrants from Genoa. And the image of St. George hangs over the northern entrance, the name of San Jodgio sounds in Italian, in his honor, the castle was named.
A magnificent view of the city opens from the hill, here you can walk and admire landscapes for several days, local beauties are just captured by the Spirit.
Another protective fortress of the city is Lerichi Castle which was built back in the first 1152, in order to protect the city from Saracinov. Initially, it was just a small tower, I am a fortress around, but modern it was completed and increased, and also increased the number of inhabitants and the surrounding villages near the fortress. The last time the castle was completed and rebuilt on 1555, it was thanks to this castle represents an eclectic assembly of styles. Now on the first floor of the castle there is a chapel of Saint Anastasia, which was separated by white and black Ligurian marble, and on the second floor there is a paleontological museum, because it was in this area a lot of valuable fossils of prehistoric animals were found, in a small courtyard of the museum there is an exposition of dinosaurs remains . In the castle, you can get in two ways - climbing the elevator or along the steps (there are 168 there are already 168), before there was a suspension bridge. If you still decide to rise with your own steps, you will be rewarded with a gorgeous view of the Bay of La Spice.
Another very interesting place, which is obliged to visit tourists in La Spice is Museum Amadeo Lia . There are about 70 cloths of famous artists, even there are paintings written by Titian and presumably early work of Raphael. In addition to the canvases, there are quite a lot of entertaining exhibits in the museum, such as a bowl of ostrich eggs, various products from rock crystal and ivory. The museum is located in the building of the old monastery and its foundation was a meeting of the exhibits of a private collector Amadeo Lia. The museum works from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm, the entrance is paid - 7 euros. By the way, there is no strict aunt-ticket in the museum, which will not allow without a ticket, no one controls your honesty and good faith will not. If, of course, you can also want to slip the hare, and the cashier is easy not to notice. Entering the museum's room, you will see a long corridor, on the right there will be a glass dark door, it is behind her and the cashier is located, do not miss it :)
Another impressive place is Church of Saints Ionna and Augustine . Wobbish, Italians are sufficiently pious people, churches are a lot and all of them worthy of special attention. This church was built the brotherhood of prayer and death in 1558. Members of this fraternity stored poor and beggars in all Christian conventions. Initially, the church was quite modest and ineffective, but over time, dome and altar had been worthy, and now the Church of Pigladt is simply great, amazing imagination.
There is a church in the center of the Old Town is not far from St. Augustine Square.
In La Spices there are still a lot of interesting churches, such as Church of Santa Maria Assuanta And the church of the Major Virgin Mary. Thus, for example, the first mention of the Church of Santa Maria Assuanta refers to 1343, during World War II, the building was almost destroyed, but after 10 years it was restored. Now the church is rather reminiscent of the museum and not a place for prayer. The icon of the Martyrdom of St. Bartholomew, which was written on Luka Cambianazo, Terracotta Andrea Della Robbia "Coronation of Our Lady" and the picture of Giovanni Battista 1642 Kazon, which depicts a biblical scene when Jesus multiplied the number of bread and fish. In the same church, the commander of the Papal Fleet Baldasar Biassa and his spouse are buried.
Even the church's building itself is surprising. Over the central entrance is elemya relief images - merciful affairs. Inside the room is divided into three neopa with three chapels - the chapel of the immaculate conception, the chapel of the mercy and the chapel of the Holy Heart.
You can walk around the city for a few days and each time find something new, because the centuries of the story passed a lot of interesting things for those who are ready to walk, watch and admire. Arriving here, everyone will find something interesting and bright for themselves, what will remain in memory for always.
