10 Monuments & Statues in Italian Riviera That You Shouldn't Miss

November 30, 2021 Venice Greaves

Liguria, or the Italian Riviera, boasts a bounty of beaches and resort towns, such as tiny but tony Portofino and stylish Rapallo. Hiking trails lead from Portofino to the villages of Cinque Terre. The Riviera of the Setting Sun runs north from Genoa to the French border. Connected by an extensive rail network, most towns make easy daytrips from one another. Genoa is the region's principal city and is home to attractions from its famous Cathedral and the Palazzo Reale to an excellent aquarium.

Nice hike and views from the top. The statue is unique with the fact that the Saint is with his pet dog wondering nature.

Cimitero Monumentale di Lavagna

Reviewed By alessandrofL127YD - Milan, Italy

Unbelievable cemetery, hundreds of beautiful sculpture are lined and watching the see, many children are sculpted on their little monuments, impressive. It’s seems to be in a sculptor’s workshop non in a cemetery.

Il Gigante

Reviewed By Stef_Stefanovich - Calgary, Canada

Being in Cinque Terra is one thing, being on the beach and then facing this 100 year old Statue of Neptune, the SEA GOD.is another..The village itself is a charming historical resort where visitors casually stroll around the old town and admire the 13 remaining defense towers, brightly colored houses, and striking landscape....you could spend weeks, we spent 4 days and 3 nights.... Restaurant suggestions forthcoming!!
