Parco naturale regionale di Porto Venere, Nature reserve in Porto Venere, Italy.
The regional park extends over 400 hectares of land and sea, including the three islands of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto along the Ligurian coast.
The reserve gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 1997 as part of 'Porto Venere Cinque Terre e Isole' and was officially established as a regional park in 2001.
The area served as a research site for naturalist Lazzaro Spallanzani in the 18th century and geologist Giovanni Capellini, contributing to scientific understanding.
Visitors can access the Palmaria Island by ferry and explore numerous hiking trails that showcase the Mediterranean vegetation and geological formations.
The park features the Muzzerone climbing wall, which attracts climbers from different countries to practice on its natural rock formations.
