How a fishermen village can turn into the most romantic location for a seaside wedding in Italy.If you are dreaming of a romantic wedding, you should look no further than a Porto Venere Wedding, an idyllic medieval town of nostalgic beauty that boasts a 16th-century fortified castle, an ancient church on the cliff above the sea, a bell tower built on the ruins of a Roman temple, even a wistful tale of English writers Lord Byron and Mary Shelley! Its position and its breathtaking natural beauty are enough to put it at the top of our list. |
The old, tiny fishermen's village of Porto Venere dates back to the 12th century, and is situated on a small peninsula that wades out into the glistening waters of the Mediterranean Sea and into the Gulf of Poets. It is made up of a colorful array of buildings and tall houses primarily painted orange and yellow that face the sea, narrow winding streets, terraced gardens and three small islands Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto sitting prettily just off its rocky promontory fragrant with Mediterranean scrub. All this is enhanced by the unforgettable Mediterranean light! |
Porto Venere is a dramatic setting for your wedding. Civil ceremonies are performed at the Marriage Hall or at the 16th-century fortified castle , in one of the halls, on the panoramic terrace or in the amphitheater. For Catholic ceremony no better place than the romantic ancient Church on the sparkling waves of the Mediterranean ocean. A Porto Venere Wedding will be unforgettable!! |
