Alassio

The town stretches along a bay with sandy beaches, featuring the central pedestrian street Budello running through its historical center.

The settlement evolved from a Roman outpost into a prominent maritime center during the Middle Ages, connecting inland routes to Mediterranean trade networks.

The Muretto di Alassio displays hundreds of ceramic tiles bearing signatures from artists, writers, and notable personalities who visited the town.

The tourist port Luca Ferrari provides 450 berths for vessels, while the railway station connects the town to major cities along the Ligurian coast.

The British composer Edward Elgar created his concert overture 'In the South' during his winter stay in Alassio between 1903 and 1904.
