There's something mystical about Mount Faudo: a trail of ancient stories, far back in time. Today, it's best known for the marathon trail that climbs from Imperia to its summit and for the antennas dotting it; yet for centuries, it was a contested land between the church, neighboring states, and the villages on its slopes. Since the ancient Ligurians, well before the Romans. It shares this burden with Mount Follia and Mount Sette Fontane. The oldest evidence of human settlement in the Dolcedo area is near Mount Follia, a conical peak on the southern slope of Mount Faudo. Traces of metalworking have emerged there, with furnaces and residential structures, dating back to the Iron Age castellari, fortifications placed high up for observation and defense, in visual contact with other castellari in the area. Today, the site is abandoned: one can still walk and imagine the defensive landscape of the ancient Ligurians.

Endlessly long trail, very varied

Monte Faudo, a word that seems to derive from the Arabic word "faud" or lighthouse, which the Saracens would have installed on the top of the mountain considering that, from that height, the view embraces a vast extension of the territory. The massif of Mount Faudo has always represented in ancient times a center around which relationships took place between the Ligurians of the Taggia valley (of Taggia) with those of the Imperia valleys; it is easily accessible from Taggia, from Badalucco, from Montalto, from Boscomare, from Pietrabruna, from Tavole, from Valloria.

a small and very ancient frescoed chapel, located at the crossroads of the roads to Pietrabruna, the Sanctuary of Lampedusa, Boscomare and the top of Faudo. Inside there are some rather ruined frescoes dating back to 1481. The church is a rare example of architectural separation that was once common, intended to separate the men's area from the women's area.

Stunning abandoned church with traces of frescoes inside. A small wonder located on the climb from Pietrabruna and the Sanctuary of Loreto.

From the top and even better or from Mount Follia a little further on...

Romanesque bridge, not Roman. It makes a big difference, being medieval. There is little or nothing Roman left in the valley.

this ancient Romanesque (medieval) bridge leads into the old part of the town. It is worth a visit or a detour from the road, even by bike. You come out further ahead
