Piazza Verdi Art Installation

Highlight • Monument

this work of art is said to be controversial, since a number of hundred-year-old trees were sacrificed to many. You can understand it, but if you haven't seen the place before, it looks quite passable. I think the place is quite artistically designed. In addition to the cubic, yellow-blue art objects, it also offers a few benches by the water.

Cathedral of Christ the King (La Spezia)

Highlight • Religious Site

in English: Cathedral of Christ the King, built between 1956 and 1975. It is a circular, white cathedral of gigantic proportions. If the door is open, you should take a look inside - it's worth it.
