Moneglia

Moneglia stretches along a wide bay between two promontories, with golden sand beaches protected by medieval fortresses at both ends of the village.

The settlement evolved from a Roman outpost on Via Aurelia into a strategic maritime center, where ships contributed to Genoa's victory at the Battle of Meloria in 1284.

The Church of San Giorgio, built in 1396, contains artworks by Rubens and Carlo Dolci, while the Church of Santa Croce showcases Baroque architecture from 1725.

The town connects to neighboring areas through one-way tunnels with timed traffic lights, requiring visitors to coordinate their travel schedules accordingly.

The village holds continuous Blue Flag certification since 1990, sharing this long-standing record with Grado for water quality and environmental standards.
