Chronicles of Savona
Savona has a rich history dating back to the 5th century BC when the Ligures tribe inhabited the area. The city's strategic port made it a significant trading hub, and the Romans later established a major naval base, leaving behind a legacy of impressive architecture, including the 16th-century Palazzo Doria. Today, Savona is a busy port city with a strong industrial heritage, but its historic centre has been beautifully restored to showcase its medieval charm. Visitors can explore the narrow streets, visit the Cathedral of Nostra Signora della Misericordia, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the city's markets and festivals. The city's proximity to the sea has also made it an important centre for maritime trade and tourism.
