SAN TERENZO - LERICI, San Terenzo - Lerici

Hi, my name’s Rick, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: Lerici, and the village of San Terenzo.

Starting out from San Terenzo, you can admire the fortress built by the inhabitants of this medieval village around the 15th century to defend themselves from Turkish pirates. You can take a short flight of steps up to the fortress which clings to a little promontory, and from where you can also enjoy a splendid view.

If you decide to walk along the seafront to Lerici, you’ll have the chance to see Villa Magni, where, in 1922, Percy Shelley stayed with his wife Mary, who wrote Frankenstein, and Lord Byron. You’ll recognize it thanks to the simple structure and the six-arch portico, which once led directly out to the sea.

Keep walking to Lerici and enjoy the pleasant stroll along the sea; if the weather’s nice, you might like to stop at one of the numerous beaches along the way....
