PORTONOVO BAY
Portonovo is a natural bay, inhabited from prehistory, it was then chosen by the Romans and the Byzantines. From the late Middle Age to the end of the 19th century, it was part of the State of the Church During the Napoleonic era several defensive works were built some are still visible today: the Napoleonic fortress, for example, is a fortress built by the Napoleon's Italian Viceroy in 1808. Today the fort is an hotel. Along the beach there is the beautiful church of S. Maria (11th century). The De Bosis Watch Tower, was built to prevent pirates attacks; a stone on its façade reminds us that the Tower was built under Pope Albani in 1716.
