Ligurian Islands
Palmaria is the main island (0.61 sq. miles) and is almost joined to the promontory of Portovenere which lies just 105 metres away.
Palmaria closes the Gulf of La Spezia along with the small islands of Tino and Tinetto.
The former (0.07 sq. miles is a military area and there is no public access; also the latter is very small (0.11 sq. miles), but very interesting from an archaeological point of view.
The remains of two partially restored early Christian chapels can be seen.
The very small oratory which is situated on the western point dates back to an earlier period than the second construction, a more complex chapel located in the flat area at the centre of the island.
