Celle Ligure

Celle Ligure stretches along the Ligurian Sea in western Liguria, and its position on the Riviera di Ponente has shaped it as a coastal town between the water and steep inland slopes. The old centre is threaded with narrow Ligurian lanes and small squares, while the waterfront remains central to local life. Celle Ligure is also the birthplace of Pope Sixtus IV, elected in 1471; he commissioned the Sistine Chapel in Rome, giving this modest resort a direct link to Renaissance papal history. The coast continues toward Savona and Genoa, with the Ligurian Alps rising farther inland. Place Celle Ligure within the Riviera di Ponente by browsing webcams along the Ligurian coast.
