Rapallo Castle.
It is the symbol of the coastal town and you cannot miss it while walking along the seafront.
It was built by the Doge of Genoa to defend the town from the Saracens and in particular from the famous (in our area) pirate Dragut during the Middle Ages.

The castle on the sea is a defensive position in Rapallo, in the metropolitan city of Genoa, built to defend the body of water near the Vittorio Veneto seafront. It is also called a medieval castle with an incorrect definition since the construction dates back only to the second half of the 16th century.
