This Church stands on natural promontory, a sheer drop to the see. The views from its terrace is unforgettable the rocks and the blue of the sea and the sky blends in a scenery of extraordinary and rare beauty.
The church was built in 1277 on the foundations of a pre-existent pagan shrine of the sixth century? to Venus Erycina (From which the name Portus Veneris derives).
