LIFTS TO LA SPEZIA CASTLE AND LIFT TO LERICI CASTLE

THE MUNICIPALITY OF LA SPEZIA HAS CREATED A PUBLIC CONNECTION BETWEEN VIA INDIPENDENZA AND SAN GIORGIO CASTLE BY MEANS OF TWO FREE LIFTS controlled by ATC Esercizio.

The vertical first lift departs from Via Indipendenza ( next to Via del Prione and MyHotel) and stops in Via XX Settembre, one level below the Castle.

The inclined second lift departs from Via XX Settembre and reaches the Castle in Via XXVII Marzo ( just in front of the entrance of the Museum of San Giorgio Castle).

This connection between the city centre and Via XXVII Marzo allows the citizens of La Spezia and tourists alike to reach more easily the Museum.

Opening hours:

Wintertime ( October 1st – May 31st )
Monday to Saturday from 7.00 to 20.30
Sundays and Bank Holidays from 9.00 to 20.30

Summertime ( from June 1st until September 30th )
Monday to Saturday from 7.00 to 21.30
Sundays and Bank Holidays from 8.30 to 21.30

NB: from 11 May to 31 August 2022 the lifts will close at 24.00.

A beautiful statue by Elisa Corsini, called “ Chimera”, enriches the site.

A system of security cameras inside and outside the lifts is directly connected to ATC Esercizio control-room.
Passengers can communicate directly with the control-room in case of emergency.
