Vado Ligure

Vado Ligure is best known in Liguria for its commercial port on the Ligurian Sea. Immediately west of Savona, it combines a working waterfront with coastal districts, while ferry services connect the area with Corsica and Sardinia. The Ligurian Apennines rise behind the urban strip, creating a sharp transition from sea traffic to inland valleys. The town’s name recalls the Roman settlement of Vada Sabatia, a port on the ancient coastal route. Above the harbour stands the late-16th-century Forte San Giacomo, built by the Republic of Genoa to defend this strategic shore.
