Discover Bordighera

What makes Bordighera unique is the harmonious blending of the ancient beauty of the medieval town center with the elegance of its villas.

The Città Alta still shows its pentagonal shaped fortification walls enclosing a closely knit mesh of alleys (the "carugi") and squares that invite visitors in to admire the colourful houses joined by the characteristic supporting arches. In summer, the town hosts many shows and events and transforms into a large open air museum in which paintings, statues and photographs animate the streets, making a stroll through the “carugi” a unique experience.
