Ruins of Doria Castle in Portovenere, Italy along the Mediterranean Sea Coastline


Many towns in Italy encompass rich ancient history, but one of the more affluent structures across the country sits along the deep blue Mediterranean Sea in Portovenere, Liguria.

Treasuring the landscape of Portovenere and overlooking the Gulf of Poets and the Cinque Terre is Doria Castle, built by the Genoese in 1161 for the extremely wealthy Doria family, who played a major role in the political, military, and economic life within the Republic of Genoa in Italy from the 12th to 16th century.
