Church of San Pietro Live Cam
Surrounded by its Regional Natural Park, also a Unesco Site since 1997
This live webcam is located in the village of Portovenere, in the province of La Spezia, at the westernmost point of the Gulf of La Spezia. Surrounded by its Regional Natural Park—designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997—Portovenere is best known for the Church of San Pietro, a stunning example of medieval architecture built between the 12th and 13th centuries. Perched on a rocky promontory overlooking the sea, the church is a true gem of the Ligurian coast.
The view from the Sea Front Lounge "Torre di Venere" offers a breathtaking panorama. In the foreground, you’ll see the Church of San Pietro with its ancient stone walls and the square below, known as "Piazza Spallanzani" or "Piazza San Pietro."
To the left, the webcam captures "Le Bocche," the narrow sea channel separating the rocky tip of the Portovenere Promontory from Palmaria Island. On the right of the church, an old fortification—once used for military defense—stands prominently, adding to the area's rich historical landscape.
