Pietra
Ligure is an international tourist resort
with wide beaches and a mild climate all year round.
It is an ancient town that in the past was invaded
by the Longobards, Franks and the Saracens. It was
once ruled by the Bishops of Albenga and then contested
by the Del Carretto from Genoa and Albenga (who
occupied it during the XIII century). In 1385 it
was passed over to the Republic but in 1419 it was
re-occupied by the Del Caretto from Finale.
The castle and the Leale-Franchetti Palace
are both medieval buildings. The 18th Century churchhouses
a Barbagelata table that dates back to 1496 and
some stalls from the 16th century. The sanctuary
of the Madonna del Soccorso is of key interest,
it was built between the XVI and XVII centuries.
The inland landscape is breathtaking
and it is possible to organise walks and
excursions leaving the town centre situated
on the coast. Visitors who just want to relax and
enjoy the beautiful surroundings can walk along
the sea front amongst the gardens and palm trees.
Sport lovers have a large choice
of facilities such as, tennis courts, a basket ball
court, a sports ground, an ice
skating rink, a sport fishing centre, a bowling
area, windsurf facilities and lots more.
The local delicacies include fruit
and wines such as Vermentino and Lumassina.
