is one of the major prehistoric finds in Europe. The Balzi_Rossi preserved traces of the ancient Roman road that led to the caves of “Gallia”. The Balzi Rossi (“Pietre rosse’ in the dialect “red bricks “) are named after the color of the rocks at the mouth of the cave. The site consists of caves and rock shelters, which through the millennia many animal remains and stone tools were found, left by prehistoric man from the Lower Paleolithic (ca. 250,000 years ago) and the Upper Paleolithic (from 35,000 to 10,000 years ago). During this period include the majority of the exhibits in both museums and caves of the Balzi Rossi tombs, stone sculptures, wood carvings and many stone tools and utensils such as knives, arrowheads and scrapers.
Ventimiglia, Riviera of Flowers
The town of Ventimiglia, the eighth most populated in urban areas in the region is divided into two parts by the river Roya, which here flows into the Ligurian Sea, a medieval area located on a hill on his right side, Ventimiglia Alta, and the right side of the river, the modern part of town.
Ventimiglia has hosted major international events like the floral parade, the medieval feast, the regional final of Miss Italy, and the large weekly market on Friday, one of the first of its kind in Italy and Europe. The city is surrounded by mountains and beautiful nature. Ventimiglia holds all the cards for you as a visitor to enjoy a holiday and the charm of the Riviera Ligure Ponente.
The ancient town is called ‘Ventimiglia Alta’, the old town is rich in history. Within the city walls, one enters through the pedestrian alleys and narrow streets, past old buildings and monuments. Fascinating: the convent of the Canonesses Lateran, the Cathedral with the Baptistery, the former church of St. Francis, the City Library, the Church of St. Michael and the medieval city walls.
The Fort, one of the best panoramic views of the Riviera dei Fiori. The construction was part of a defensive complex, and was connected with walkways and underground passages at the San Paolo ford. The Museum at the ford, founded in 1876 by the scholar Jerome Rossi Ventimiglia (1839-1914), is permanently installed in 1989.
The ancient Roman theater Albintimilium built in Ventimiglia, near the Via Julia Augusta, between the second and third centurie, in the western part of the Ligurian city. The semicircular structure is largely covered with a white limestone from the French town of ‘La Turbie’ right above Monaco. It would have been appropriate for a maximum of two thousand seats 5,000 spectators, who were present at shows mostly comedies, dances and mimes. It is one of the smallest of its kind. The site was abandoned in the fourth century.
