An ancient Roman fishing community, it’s supposedly named after a temple to Venus that once stood on fortified promontory where the church of Peter the Apostle stands today. An interesting architectural amalgamation, the church’s original structure dates back to the 5th century, while the sections with black and white banding is from the 13th. Architecture fans will also want to visit the Romanesque church of St. Lawrence, erected in 1098 on the site of ancient temple dedicated to Jupiter, and of course the 12th century walls surrounding the city. Literature lovers can stop by Byron’s Grotto, where local legend says Lord Byron meditated and drew inspiration. Of course, as a seaside Italian village, relaxing with some fresh local food would suit every visitor’s travel tastes.
