La Spezia is situated in the most inner part of the Golfo dei Poeti on flat plains that develop in an area limited by the sea and the surrounding hills. Its origins may be traced back the ancient times up to the tenth century AD, when the lands of the gulf were ruled by the Obertenghi family and by the Bishops of Luni. At that time, La Spezia was a small maritime and fishing village that gathers round a group of houses placed along the slope of the hill called Poggio.
Genoa was near menacing this territory and when it managed to join it to its rules, the local reality greatly improved thus becoming an important trading and naval emporium. In this period La Spezia was invaded by pirates and attacked by other counties that fought against the Republic of Genoa that tried to preserve its strategic position of the gulf. The village was protected by the strengthening of the defensive walls perimeter together with the construction of the San Giorgio Castle that is now the seat of the archaeological collection "Ubaldo Formentini".
But during the 800s, La Spezia lived one of the most important periods of its history thanks to the realisation of the Military Shipyard and the Mercantile Port that changed a fishing village into a modern city. From the sea, you are embraced by a colourful and sunny seafront, the Passeggiata Morin (Morin walk), the starting point towards Cinque Terre, La Spezia Lerici and Porto Venere which faces the splendid Golfo dei Poeti.
The seafront is faced by the historical gardens which are made on a tongue of the sea and thus offer unique combination of colours. Numerous are the varieties of plant hosted, ranging from the cedar to the magnolia and other types of characteristic palms, alternated by a large blossoming of roses among wild agaves.
