La Spezia — Golfo dei Poeti & Museo Navale
Liguria
La Spezia sits at the head of the same gulf that inspired Byron and Shelley, its long history as a major Italian naval base documented in one of the country's oldest naval museums along the seafront promenade. The city gives a different, more urban angle on the gulf than the castle views from Lerici across the water.
