    On the point in Vernazza is an old Forte overlooking the town and harbour.

    To get to the forte it is a steep climb up from the main square - lots of steps winding up between buildings.

    Once there, you can climb to the top of the Forte for great views and photos.

    It costs around 1 to 2 euros to enter.

    At the tip of Vernazza, the "castle of loud screams" looks over the Ligurian Sea stretching to the horizon. The castello received this name for the warnings shouted from the tower alerting Vernazza's inhabitants of invasion at a time when pirates ruled the seas. While the threat of pirate attacks has vanished, the castle still provides wonderful view of Vernazza and its tiny harbor, as well as a break taking panorama of the sea. Climb the tower at the edge of town for 1 euro. Closed Tuesday.
