Create an itinerary including La Pigna
La Pigna refers to the old town of Sanremo along the Italian Riviera. Built in the early Middle Ages, the walled village later expanded into the surrounding hillside. Today, the remaining old town is almost perfectly preserved. A labyrinth of paths and narrow streets weaves through old buildings and monuments, eventually leading to a cathedral perched atop a hill. The views from here are not to be missed. This quaint, historic part of Sanremo contrasts starkly with the busy areas closer to the sea. Put La Pigna and other Sanremo attractions into our Sanremo road trip app, and watch your holiday take shape.

    La Pigna, the old town of Sanremo. What else can I add, it's awesome, it's a must see. But be prepared, it's quite a stroll through the narrow streets, but it is all worth it.
