History and culture

The troubled story of the Liguria, the dark and splendid ages have left an amazing amount of testimony to live, not only closed in the museums but also in the architecture of the coloured towns facing the sea and in the small villages along the tortuous road which bring towards the l’Appennino.

San Remo the city of flowers and Festivals that presents itself to the tourist with its palms along the coast, conserves an antic heart, the medieval center called Pigna, barricaded on the hill, in circles with covered passages, archs, fountains and staircases. At Laigueglia, known for the opening of the cyclist’s trophy, one can find the tower of the horse, a typical construction used to survey the area.  Loano, an old center with roman origins, and for hundreds of years place to the feud of the family Doria, conserves many houses from the 17th century of which there is the Communal Palace; at a few kilometers one can find the Tirano grotto.
