Bed and Breakfast La Terrazza dei Pelargoni - Ventimiglia

The Bed and Breakfast “La Terrazza dei Pelargoni” is situated in the medieval heart of Ventimiglia, an ancient cross-roads and obligatory stopping point for travellers from Liguria to Provence and on the Salt Route to Piedmont. Important monuments which characterise Ventimiglia Alta include the Romanesque Cathedral and church of San Michele; the church of San Giovanni; the Oratory of the Black Confraternity; the convent church of San Antonio the Abbot, in baroque style; the church of San Francesco, originally in Gothic style and later converted to the baroque; the Parliament loggia – a public building dating from the 15th C; the aristocratic palazzi in Via Garibaldi, enriched in the 16th and 17th C with hanging gardens – a unique Ligurian urban feature; the 16thC Genovese town wall that still almost completely surrounds the present day historic centre, and traces of an earlier medieval wall.
