At the castle of Lerici (built circa 1100 to 1550), perched high above the harbor, next to the imposing fortress with the pentagonal tower, there is also the 13th century chapel of Sant'Anastasia. From the numerous benches on the promenade, the sight can also be enjoyed for a long time.

The Lerici Castle was built starting from 1152 and underwent numerous transformations by the Maritime Republics. It appears as a polygonal fortification that stands in a dominant position on the rocky promontory of the Lerici inlet.
