La Spezia

La Spezia ('''Spèsa''' in the local Dialect of Ligurian ) is a city in the Liguria region of northern Italy , at the head of La Spezia Gulf , and capital city of the Province Of La Spezia . It is one of the major Italian military and commercial harbours, located between Genoa and Pisa on the Ligurian Sea . La Spezia also hosts one of the biggest Military Industries of Italy, OTO Melara .

It has no truly remarkable historic or Architectural features, apart from the modern (''circa'' 1960 ) Cristo Re Alla Spezia Cathedral and the Lia Art Museum . The post office preserves some Futurist mosaics by Prampolini .

Although La Spezia, peculiar in Italy by being a modern city (almost all buildings date after 1920 ), has few attractions, its province includes beautiful places like Lerici , Portovenere and the Cinque Terre , all lying on the La Spezia Gulf, on the Tyrrhenian Sea .

During the Second World War , the city's port was used by the Kriegsmarine as the main base for U-boat s operating in the Mediterranean Sea .
