Discover Imperia, a city born from the union of the historic towns of Porto Maurizio and Oneglia, where history, the sea, and culture come together along one of the most captivating stretches of the Ligurian coast. This guided tour explores the two distinct yet complementary souls of the city, united by a long maritime tradition and a deep connection to olive oil production.
The itinerary begins in Porto Maurizio, among elegant squares, historic alleyways, and panoramic views overlooking the sea. Climbing towards the Parasio, the medieval heart of the city, visitors wander through ancient carugi leading to the majestic Basilica of San Maurizio, the largest church in Liguria. From here, breathtaking views open across the Ligurian Sea and the colorful houses lining the coastline.
The tour then continues to Oneglia, historically linked to trade and the olive oil industry. Walking beneath the characteristic arcades of Calata Cuneo, visitors discover the lively harbor area, the heart of local maritime life, surrounded by fishing boats, restaurants, and stories of the sea.
Imperia is also the city of the famous Taggiasca olive and Ligurian extra virgin olive oil. During the tour, visitors learn about the history of this important agricultural tradition, which continues to shape both the landscape and the economy of the region.
Before leaving the city, a stop at local shops is highly recommended to sample extra virgin olive oil, regional specialties, and traditional Ligurian delicacies.
