Liguria
Ventimiglia Centro Storico
Liguria is the small crescent shaped Province of Italy adjoining the French Riviera and reaching round to Tuscany. It is often known as the Italian Riviera.
What, I hear readers asking, is Liguria doing here on an app entry about about Nice and the Arrière Pays Niçois? Good question! Up till about 1860 the County of Nice was part of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardina which included Liguria and as a result Nice has very close connections with its neighbour even today
There are five places to visit below which are right at the western end of Liguria. They are so close to Nice and so accessible that it would be a shame to miss them whilst in the area.
San Remo
Ventigmiglia
Ventimiglia Market
Dolceacqua
Hanbury Gardens
Enjoy this little taste of Liguria!
