Italian country bordering France

Nice place where you see the Ligurian sea

Ventimiglia is a seaside town along the Ligurian coast a few kilometers from the border with France. It is famous for its medieval historic center with the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. I also recommend a walk along the seafront, to enjoy a splendid view of the bay and the French Riviera. In the surroundings of the city, the botanical gardens of Villa Hanbury and the archaeological site of Albintimilium are interesting, with the remains of a theater and Roman baths.

From this point it is possible to admire the historic core of Ventimiglia, the Upper Town, in the distance. The panorama is framed by the flow of the Roia river which flows into the sea a few meters later.

Balzi Rossi beach is one of the most renowned places in Ventimiglia. Here you will find crystal clear water and a series of caves with a thousand-year history. A real gem!

Beautiful places we went up after Bordighera arrived in Dolce Acqua beautiful village continued to climb up to Bajardo 900 meters then climbed again paved road in the woods altitude 1040 meters and then descended a show immersed in nature

Worth seeing is the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, built around 1000 and dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, with its octagonal baptistery and a portal dating from 1222. The Church of San Michele, built in the 10th century, was once the counts' family chapel from Ventimiglia. Modifications took place in the 11th and 12th centuries; the apse and the campanile were built. Under the church there is a pre-Romanesque hall crypt, the vault of which is supported by columns. One column was a Roman milestone and two others in granite are said to have been part of the remains of a temple dedicated to Castor and Pollux. The old 16th-century Piedmont Gate, with its antique wooden wings and nailed iron fittings, marks the start of the road to the Tenda Pass, which connects Liguria to Piedmont.
