Of very ancient origins, Portovenere probably owes its name to the presence of a small pagan temple, dedicated to the Goddess Venus; it is characterized by the imposing Doria Castle with the fortifications connected to it, and for the "Palazzata", an unbroken row of narrow colored "tower houses" developed vertically and locked one next to the other culminating in the stairway leading to the Church of San Pietro and the famous Byron's cave. The village, together with the Palmaria island archipelago, is recognized by unesco as a World Heritage Site and is protected by the homonymous Regional Natural Park.
