Savona: an authentic gem of sea, history, and tradition

Located on the beautiful western Ligurian Riviera, Savona is a city with ancient roots and a vibrant present. Founded by the Ligurians, it later became an important Roman port and has since developed a rich historical and cultural heritage.

Among its main attractions is the Priamar Fortress, an impressive structure with panoramic views, now home to exhibitions and museums. The city’s symbol is the Torre Leon Pancaldo, also known as “La Torretta,” proudly overlooking the port. The historic center hides true treasures such as the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption and the elegant Sistine Chapel, commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV.

Savona is also known for its artisanal traditions, such as ceramic production, and local flavors: don’t miss the wood-fired farinata and the unique chinotto, a small citrus fruit symbolic of the area. A stroll through the caruggi (narrow alleys) reveals authentic corners, noble palaces, and historic shops.

With its Blue Flag beaches, lively Old Dock area, and a soul that blends seaside charm with culture, Savona is the perfect destination for those seeking beauty, authenticity, and relaxation.
