Castles and Fortifications of Liguria

Liguria's coastline and hills are defined by centuries of defensive architecture, from the Republic of Genoa’s strategic towers to medieval hilltop strongholds. This collection features coastal fortresses like Portovenere's Castello Doria and Rapallo's seaside castle, alongside inland fortifications such as the Doria-Malaspina castle in Calice al Cornoviglio. These structures illustrate the evolution of military engineering, showcasing medieval city gates, Renaissance bastions, and 19th-century residential conversions that protected the Italian Riviera from maritime incursions and territorial conflicts.
