Varigotti, Medieval coastal hamlet in Liguria, Italy
Located on the Italian Riviera, Varigotti extends along a protected bay with colorful Mediterranean houses and narrow streets leading to the sea.
The settlement contained a Byzantine fortification until 643, when Lombard king Rothari demolished it during his expansion campaign in the region.
The village maintains strong ties to its maritime past through the annual Saint Lawrence celebration on August 10, centered around the medieval church.
The public beach stretches across the Bay of the Saracens, providing direct access to clear Mediterranean waters and natural sand sections.
The Torre di Varigotti, a square watchtower from early 1800s, stands on ancient Byzantine foundations overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
