Il centro storico
The historical centre
Pietra prendeva il nome dall'l'imponente macigno a levante del centro storico, su cui fu realizzato un castro romano per prevenire gli attacchi saraceni.
Storica alleata di Genova, fu per metà ricostruita nell'ultimo dopoguerra a causa dei devastanti bombardamenti subiti durante la II guerra mondiale. Oggi Pietra Ligure è una delle principali mete del turismo della riviera ligure. Per chi ama la cultura, nei pressi del centro storico, potra' visitare: la chiesa parrocchiale di San Nicolo', il Santuario Nostra Signora del Soccorso, l'Oratorio dei Bianchi, l'Oratorio della Santissima Annunziata e altro ancora. Recandosi nel centro storico di questa ridente cittadina del Ponente, si ha la sensazione di tornare indietro nel tempo, data la presenza di edifici medievali che meritano senza dubbio di essere visitati. Ovviamente, qui potrete trovare anche vari confortevoli servizi turistici.
Pietra Ligure - The Historic Centre
The name of the town came from an imposing boulder situated in the east part of the hostoric centre, where a Roman settlement had been built in order to prevent Saracen attacks.
Pietra Ligure was allied with Genoa in the past. Half of this township had been rebuilt after the II World War since the bombings destroied it, and, nowadays it's one of the main touristic destinations of the whole Riviera. Moreover, for the culture-lovers, there's a lot of buildings that can be visited: the St Nicolo's parish church, the other parish church of Nostra Signora del Soccorso, the Oratorio dei Bianchi (Oratory of the Whites). When you walk along this ancient village, you'll have the feeling to go back in time because of the mediaeval buildings which certainly deserve to be visited. Of course, here there are also several comfortable touristic services.
