LIVERPOOL Liverpool is a city in the United Kingdom, overlooking the Irish Sea and has an oceanic climate with fairly cold winters and mild summers and with frequent rains all year round. HISTORY: The history of Liverpool, as a great center of English maritime trade, is very recent, as it cannot be traced back beyond the last decades of the 17th century when John of Lancaster reigned the throne. But it is above all after his assumption to the throne that his name is linked to the beginnings of the very modest fortune of Liverpool. In fact, he expanded the port and all its trade routes, making it the most important port to reach every part of America. The benefits of this new form of activity, which makes it the first English port for exchanges with America, are also revealed in the renewal of the port facilities. Finally, in the last decades of the century, the rapid development of the cotton industry in Lancashire and the completion of the works to make the Mersey navigable between Manchester and Liverpool make this port one of the major import centers of raw cotton. Today Liverpool appears as a vibrant and pulsating cultural center. The days of the Beatles may have passed, but it is impossible not to find something that reminds them on every corner of the street. CULTURAL POINT OF VIEW: The historic center has many streets full of shops and clubs that pay homage to what remains of the band that revolutionized the history of modern music. Yet the life of Liverpool is not concentrated only in the historic center, another pole of entertainment and tourist interest is given by the port area, or the Docks: a huge platform on the sea, a giant two-storey square, full of restaurants and shops, an area frequented at any time of the day and which has won the title of Unesco World Heritage Site.
