Places to see in ( Sanremo - Italy )
Places to see in ( Sanremo - Italy )
Sanremo is a coastal city in northwestern Italy. Its green spaces include the park of Villa Ormond, with a Japanese garden, palm trees and ancient olive groves. The 12th-century San Siro Cathedral has 12 bells in its tower, plus a huge crucifix above its altar. In an elegant art nouveau building, the long-established Casinò di Sanremo includes a theater. Nearby, the Russian Church has 5 onion domes.
Fifty kilometres east of Europe's premier gambling capital lies San Remo, Italy's own Monte Carlo, a sun-dappled Mediterranean resort with a casino, a clutch of ostentatious villas and lashings of Riviera-style grandeur. Known colloquially as the City of Flowers for its colourful summer blooms, San Remo also stages an annual music festival (the supposed inspiration for the Eurovision Song Contest) and the world's longest professional one-day cycling race, the 298km Milan–San Remo classic. During the mid-19th century the city became a magnet for regal European exiles, such as Empress Elisabeth of Austria and Tsar Nicola of Russia, who favoured the town's balmy winters. Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel maintained a villa here, and an onion-domed Russian Orthodox church reminiscent of Moscow's St Basil's Cathedral still turns heads down by the seafront.
Long a haunt of Europe's crowned heads, nobility, wealthy and fortune-hunters, Sanremo is at the heart of the colourful and sunny Riviera dei Fiori, the Riviera of Flowers. An old-fashioned seaside resort with several interesting tourist sights, picturesque views and good travel links, Sanremo is a good base for a holiday in this western end of Liguria.
The Italian Riviera is famed for its all-year-round mild climate, and was a popular destination for European nobility, who could promenade along the sea front or stake their inheritance on the fall of dice in the coast's casinos. The Mediterranean resort is busier and hotter in summer, but makes a pleasant destination at almost any time of the year. Within Italy, one of Sanremo's chief claims to fame is as the host resort for an annual pop music competition, the Sanremo Festival. Unless you have a real passion for contemporary Italian pop music, it's best to avoid the crowded city in the first weeks of March.
One of Sanremo's principal tourist attractions is the town itself. For a small resort, Sanremo presents an impressive variety of faces to the visitor. There is a harbour where swanky yachts jostle for space, and old men tinker with more dilapidated marine transport. There are busy shopping streets where you can pick up jewellery and clothes, and a hectic market, crowded with French trippers who throng over the border in a quest for bargains. There are broad palm-lined streets where Sanremo's exotic past visitors - from Empresses to poets, via Tchaikowski and Alfred Nobel, resided in luxury villas. And most atmospheric of all is the old town, the Pigna, named after a pine cone for the way the tight-packed buildings cling to a steep hill.
Like other Ligurian towns, Sanremo was built with defence in mind - early foreign visitors were not extravagant tourists but marauding pirates. So the oldest part of Sanremo consists of winding narrow alleys diving under arches and buttresses towards the hill's summit, crowned with a church.
Individual tourist sights of interest in Sanremo include the pretty domed Russian Orthodox church built by the town's many wealthy emigres in the early 1900s. The Casino is one of the town's most famous sights, a glaring white palace with a range of options for those in love with chance. You'll need to dress up to enter some of the gaming rooms, but anyone can have a go on the one-armed bandits in the main halls. If you visit early in the day, the main clientele consists of respectable-looking elderly women with manic gleams in their eyes, clutching their buckets of tokens.
Sanremo is well-experienced at entertaining leisure-seekers. As well as all the usual seaside facilities, the town also offers an 18-hole golf course, horse-riding and boat trips (as well as gambling, naturally). It's well-worth exploring more of the coastline - the smaller nearby towns such as Ospedaletti offer more peaceful surroundings and charming beaches, while the French Riviera and Monaco are just a train ride away.

Places to see in ( Imperia - Italy )
Places to see in ( Imperia - Italy )
Imperia is Liguria's westernmost province. It borders on Piedmont to the north, the Province of Savona to the east, and France to the west. To the south, it is lapped by the Ligurian Sea. The Provincial Capital is Imperia (41,500 residents) but the most populated town is San Remo (56,000 residents). The sea and the mountains are so close that the area hosts four mountain communities: Comunità dell'Olivo, Alta Valle Arroscia, Argentina Armea and Montana Intemelia. The name Imperia stems from the Impero River, which divides the former opposing villages of Porto Maurizio and Oneglia, now united into one town. In May 1945, the territory was occupied for a month by de Gaulle’s French army, the so-called Tirailleurs.
The stretch of coast belonging to Imperia Province is also known as the Riviera dei Fiori, the Flower Riviera, characterized by bays, ports and coves that become valleys, creeks and peaks standing above 984 ft. The sea of the Riviera is known for a mild climate, even in winter. At a short distance from the coast, behind the hills are valleys and pristine woods. Imperia is well-known for its many agro-alimentary firms that produce oil and pasta (although in time its economy has shifted towards services and tourism), and olive groves are still widespread throughout the territory.
Visit the Provincial Capital's central Via Bonfante with its arcades, and Galleria Isnardi and Galleria degli Orti with the most exclusive boutiques. Along the marina and behind the harbor is old Oneglia, with the old fishermen’s houses and the Palazzo dei Doria, the former lords of the town. Imperia's eastern border reveals the remnants of the 17th-Century walls, originally commissioned by the Savoia family.
Nearby lies the Church of the Annunziata with its neoclassical façade, and the 18th-Century Scolopi Complex. The Duomo di San Maurizio, also in the Neoclassical style, is just outside the historic center. The Naval Museum is also in Piazza del Duomo. The most popular beach along the Province's Riviera is Spiaggia d’Oro, or Golden Beach, in the port area of Borgo Marina, yet every community - from Imperia, Bordighera, and Arma di Taggia to Diano Marina and Ospedaletti - offers gorgeous and sunny beaches.
Noteworthy among the best inland destinations are Dolceacqua (with the overlooking Doria Castle, which can be reached through a scenic bridge over the Nervia River), Pigna (an art and spa hub), Rocchetta Nervina (with its many small lakes, the best initiation point for a hike), Perinaldo (famous for the Cassini Observatory) and Pieve di Teco (with its characteristic arcades).
San Remo, the city of flowers, is home to the 1905 Casino, where every year the Festival della Canzone Italiana (Italian song festival) is held. Ventimiglia is the town nearest to the border with France, and to the visitor it reveals its dual personalities: the archaeological town from the Roman period, an open-air museum with a theatre still in pristine conditions, the Provenza Portal, the thermal baths and mosaics; and the Medieval town, on the Roia River's right bank, characterized by monumental walls, the Cathedral of the Assunta, the octagonal-plan Baptistery and the Convent of the Canonichesse Lateranensi. Worth visiting is also the Salvini di Pieve di Teco Theater, the world’s smallest theatre.
Imperia Province displays extraordinary flora: from the world-famous palms of Bordighera to the terraces covered with vineyards and olive groves, that lend their incredible colors to the Nervia Valley. Similarly, the trees on the Olivo Hills alternate with homes and villages. Finally, the valleys between Liguria and Piedmont - such as Argentina, Armea and Arroscia - boast plenty of natural resources that decorate the remains of ancient settlements.
