Ventimiglia, Italy's last town before the border with France, greets the tourist
in three different guises, not least in terms of logistics: archaeological,
Medieval and modern. Archaeological Ventimiglia (on the eastern side of the
modern town) dates back to Roman times. In this veritable open-air museum one
finds an arena with the first level of steps still intact, the "porta di
Provenza" (gate to Provence), insulae and domus, baths and mosaic floors.
Medieval Ventimiglia stands high on the crest of a rock, dominating the right
bank of the river Roia. It can easily be seen from a distance thanks to its
imposing walled boundary, cathedral of the Assunta, octagonal baptistery and
convent of Lateran Canonesses, built into the side of which is an eye-catching
double staircase leading to the baroque church of Sant'Antonio
Abate. Modern Ventimiglia is crossed by three routes, the direction of which is
determined by the bridge over the river Roia: the town centre and sea, France
and Piedmont (with its ancient wooden and studded iron leaves, the sixteenth
century porta Piemonte marks the way to Colle di Tenda, the pass which links
Liguria to Piedmont).
The territory of Ventimiglia offers very fine landscaping and real estate has
developed in the zones of Latte and Mortola. The peerless climate and the
fertility of the soil were ideal for establishing fine gardens, subsequently
renovated in the late 19th century, the most remarkable being the Hanbury
Garden.
