Bordighera

Bordighera sits on the Ligurian Sea in western Liguria, where a mild Mediterranean shore rises quickly toward the hills behind the Riviera. The town is particularly associated with palms: its groves and garden vegetation have shaped an identity distinct from the denser resort centres along this coast. Bordighera Alta, the historic upper quarter, retains narrow lanes and small squares above the seafront. Painter Claude Monet spent the winter of 1884 in Bordighera, creating works inspired by its palms, gardens and coastal light. Its position near the French border also places it within the cultural continuum of the Italian and French Rivieras.
