Among the cities of Liguria, Sanremo stands out for its flower-growing tradition and the Sanremo Music Festival. Set on the Ligurian Sea in the Riviera dei Fiori, it combines a palm-lined seafront with steep streets climbing toward inland hills. The medieval La Pigna quarter, shaped by covered passages, stairways and small squares, preserves the compact form of the old town above the port. The festival began in 1951 at the Municipal Casino and has become a central event in Italian popular music; since 1977 it has been held at Teatro Ariston. Sanremo also lends its name to the Milan–San Remo cycling classic. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Sanremo and western Liguria.
