BORDIGHERA

The history of Bordighera begins with the foundation of the city in 1471, on an area inhabited since the first centuries before Christ.

Over the centuries, and in particular in the nineteenth century, the city was chosen by the English aristocracy as a holiday destination, thanks to the climate and the splendid panorama.

Among the places to visit  remember the church of Sant'Ampelio, patron of the city and the church of Maddalena - built in the seventeenth century within which you can admire numerous works of art and in the ceiling of the central nave, the chandelier gift of Queen Margherita of Savoy.

The tourist heart of the city is Lungomare Argentina, where the seaside resorts and the trendiest clubs of Bordighera are located.

We also remember the Bicknell museum, which preserves numerous prehistoric finds related to the history of Liguria and a very rich archaeological and scientific library.

Another recommended stop is the exotic Pallanca garden, where more than three thousand varieties of rare plants are housed.

Do not miss the visit of Bordighera Alta, ancient and modern at the  same time stretched, formed by narrow streets and streets similar to those of a labyrinth.

This historic center is full of history and special places, an ideal place to breathe the air of centuries-old traditions.

There is a path, which starts from the city, among palm trees and other Mediterranean trees, along which you can see the facades of what were the most beautiful hotels of the last century but above all to enjoy magnificent natural landscapes.
