4. Portofino resort
Portofino
- a picturesque harbor of the Mediterranean
Portofino - a charming resort town of Italy's population of just over
five hundred indigenous inhabitants. The coast around the town dotted
with peaceful and cozy harbors are among the most picturesque in the
whole Mediterranean.
The town is very small, but despite this, widely known as one of the
finest spa centers throughout Europe. Portofino is located 30 kilometers
from the city of Genoa, in Liguria.
Founded by the Romans once Portofino was originally named Port Dolphin.
This town got the name from the fact that in these waters inhabited
by large number of these lovely marine inhabitants.
The first written mention of Portofino refers to the year 986, in the
early 13th century the town became part of the Genoese republic. For
a long period, local port, previously served as a parking area for small
fishing boats, was heavily congested due to the large number of Genoese
trading ships arriving in Portofino from all over the world.
In the early 15 th century French King Charles VI passes Portofino Florentine
Republic, but not for long, because soon, under the pressure of the
Genoese town is coming back to their power. From 1815 to 1860 Portofino
passes into the possession of the Kingdom of Sardinia. And finally,
with the 1861 part of the Kingdom of Italy.
In the late 19 th century the town became a favorite spot of wealthy
aristocratic families of Britain and other countries of Northern Europe.
The number of tourists is growing rapidly every year.
As a result, tourism may almost completely displaces fishing industry,
which for centuries there has been a major activity and source of income
for local people.
And since the mid 50-ies Portofino is known as a first-class spa center,
on the coast which now rages lives - here a lot of cafes and restaurants
serving tourists.
In Portofino are several top class hotels, where the offer acceptable
to the majority of tourists value for money. All hotels are in close
proximity to the beach.
One of the main attractions of Portofino, which necessarily have to
look at visitors to the city - is a statue of Christ. In the 1954th
year it raised from the bottom of the sea one of the small bays, near
the town. It depicts Jesus with open palms outstretched to the sky as
a sign of peace.
It is a statue in the bay of San Fruttuozo, where you can only reach
by sea, for example, hiring a small boat-taxi. Money spent on an excursion,
do not make for a recall, because the impressions that tourists will
be taken away from here. Brown Castle also impresses with its grandeur
and beauty. It was built in the 12th century, before it was used as
a defense of the city and to accommodate the garrison. Now a museum,
which offers fantastic views of the Mediterranean.
It is worth visiting the church of St. Martin, built in the 12th century,
and the Church of St. George, which still kept some of the valuable
relics. Another monument of Portofino - chapel of St. Mary, made in
the Gothic style.
However, the most valuable thing Portofino offers its guests - this
is a first class, complete rest. There is no need to hurry, the only
thing it is only natural to engage in this heavenly place - just walking
along the streets of the tiny town, luxuriate in one of the cleanest
beaches and listen to the sound of the surf ...
