The Italian town of Savona is located in the northern Italian region of Liguria, in the Riviera de Ponente on the Mediterranean Sea coast. The town's industrial past is dominated by its iron industry and at one point it had many iron-works and foundries, shipbuilding, railway workshops, engineering shops and a brass foundry. Christopher Columbus was one of the town's most famous residents who reputedly farmed land in the area while chronicling his adventures. 'Columbus' House' is situated between vegetable crops and fruit trees, in the Savona hills, and is one of several residences in Liguria associated with the explorer.
There are many things to see in the town and its medieval centre is worth a visit. The Baroque Cathedral di Nostra Signora Assunta managed to survive the destruction by Genoese forces in the 16th century and so too did imposing Fortezza del Priamar. The fortress guards a couple of sculpture museums and the Civico Museo Storico Archeologico, which displays archaeological finds.
From the town's port Corsica Ferries is the principal ferry operator to Corsica, offering a weekly sailing to Bastia and a weekly sailing to Ile Rousse and Clavi. The crossing time is around 3 hours for all three destinations.
The Italian town of Porto Torres lies on the west coast of the island of Sardinia, and is around 25 km to the east of the Gorditanian Peninsula. The town, with its 2,000 years of history, is a lovely place to visit and contains both a mass of culture and beautiful beaches. The town was founded in 46 AD by Julius Caesar and still visible are the remains of the ancient town of Turris Libisonis. A popular attraction in the town is the National Archaeological Museum and archaeological site where important artefacts are on display that include the ancient spa and where it is possible to walk along the paved streets and see the houses that are decorated with lovely multi coloured marble. Also in the town are a number of parks and green areas that are open to the public and are a great place to relax and take in the flora and fauna. There are also many restaurants in Porto Torres where visitors can sample and enjoy the local cuisine.
The port is connected by ferries with Genoa, Marseille, Toulon, Barcelona, Civitavecchia, Propriano.
