Luni Mare was not so bad. We read a few poor reviews from visitors but as we are interested in archaeology we decided to go anyway. It’s a Roman ruin in Liguria not far from La Spezia and has a free car park so we decide to stay the night there. While it was a little, shall we say ‘unloved’, it was still pretty interesting. The museum holds some lovely marble statues and other roman artefacts but the actual Temple of Luna is rather a disappointment. The amphitheatre is a short walk from the main site and was pretty impressive.

It was good to see a group of archaeology students digging trenches and shovelling dirt in good old Time Team fashion. Below are some pics of the site.
