Taggia, Medieval town in Province of Imperia, Italy
Taggia is a town in the Province of Imperia that stretches between the coast and inland valleys. The area includes several distinct zones: the historic core on elevated terrain, the seaside settlement of Arma di Taggia, and an industrial district.
The settlement began as Costa Balenae during Roman times in the coastal plain. After a landslide around 690, residents relocated their settlement to higher ground.
The Dominican Convent, Basilica of San Giacomo, and numerous Renaissance palaces form the architectural heritage of Taggia, reflecting centuries of regional influence.
The town is easily reached by train on the Genoa-Ventimiglia line and by the A10 highway. Visitors can move between the different zones since they are connected by regular road links.
The municipal territory includes both ancient hilltop settlements and modern coastal developments, with Arma di Taggia serving as the administrative capital.
