Taggia, Medieval town in Province of Imperia, Italy
The municipality of Taggia extends between the coastal area and inland valley, featuring three distinct sections including the historic center, seaside resort, and industrial zone.
Archaeological findings reveal that Taggia originated as Costa Balenae during Roman times, later relocating to higher ground following a landslide in 690 CE.
The Dominican Convent, Basilica of San Giacomo, and numerous Renaissance palaces form the architectural heritage of Taggia, reflecting centuries of regional influence.
Taggia maintains direct access to major transportation routes through its railway station on the Genoa-Ventimiglia line and connection to the A10 highway.
The municipal territory includes both ancient hilltop settlements and modern coastal developments, with Arma di Taggia serving as the administrative capital.
