Dolceacqua, Medieval village in Liguria, Italy
Dolceacqua spreads across both sides of the Nervia River, connected by a 15th-century stone bridge and crowned by the hilltop Doria Castle.
The Doria Castle, constructed in the 12th century, endured multiple attacks before suffering extensive damage during the 1744 War of Austrian Succession.
The medieval bridge and castle attracted painter Claude Monet, who created several paintings capturing the architectural elements of this Italian settlement.
The village contains numerous shops selling local products, including Rossese wine from surrounding vineyards and olive oil from regional producers.
The village divides into two distinct sections: Terra, featuring ancient stone houses and vaulted passages, and Il Borgo, displaying 19th-century architecture.
