For those fascinated by the fourteenth century, with its religious mysteries, horseback battles and great Italian poetry, we will take you to discover medieval Liguria, the ideal route for all those who feel attracted by our roots. Meeting with our expert guide and visit to Finalborgo, one of the most beautiful medieval villages in Italy.
Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, although recent studies seem to backdate its foundation by a few centuries. Walking through the streets of the old town you can savor the medieval atmosphere created by the imposing Castel San Giovanni, which stands majestically to defend the city. Also not to be missed are the other notable artistic testimonies, such as the Basilica of San Biagio, the ancient Convent of Santa Caterina, with its suggestive botanical garden, and the numerous Renaissance palaces, including Palazzo Ricci and Palazzo Brunenghi. Such a rich and dense itinerary, you can only find it from those who have real experience on site... At the end of the visit to Finalborgo, you reach another jewel of medieval origins of the Ligurian Riviera: Noli. Free lunch. In the afternoon you will discover one of the maritime republics, which in the 12th century enjoyed great wealth thanks to the continuous trade by sea with other countries. Noli is a beautiful town that stands on the seashore. From here, in fact, you can admire the fishing boats on the coast and you can enjoy the clean beach and the clear sea of the Ligurian Riviera. And, why not, take a nice regenerating dip. The last stop is a gastronomic stop for the preparation of two of the most important products of Ligurian gastronomy: farinata, a savory pie prepared with chickpea flour, and pesto. Both recipes were born during the Middle Ages.
This gastronomic experience is the last taste of Liguria that the medieval package offers.
