MM212 Says: The cathedral church of Sanremo, San Siro, is also the city's oldest church. Although it is thought that the first church on this site was built in 811 AD, the actual structure dates to the early 12th century. It was built in a Romanesque style but was heavily modified into...
MM212 Says: Located just below la Pigna, the oldest part of Sanremo, la Chiesa di Santo Stefano dominates Piazza Cassini. It was built in mediaeval times, but was remodelled in the 17th century into the Baroque church it is today. It has been a Jesuits church since 1624.
MM212 Says: Inaugurated in 1905, this grand Belle Époque building was initially conceived as a theatre. It was designed by the Parisian architect Eugène Ferret, clearly drawing inspiration from French architecture. Some gambling took place within the structure in the early years, but it...
Oratorio dell'Immacolata Concezione
MM212 Says: Located on Piazza San Siro, facing the cathedral, l'Oratorio dell'Immaculata Concezione is a 16th century chapel. Its façade is more Neoclassical, but the interior is a full blown rich Baroque design.
MM212 Says: This mediaeval cylindrical tower lies out of place amid more modern buildings on Piazza del Mercato. It is known as Torre della Ciapela and was once a watchtower within the defensive walls around Sanremo.
Palazzo Borea d'Olmo (Museo Civico)
MM212 Says: Considered one of the most important Baroque edifices in Liguria west of Genoa, il Palazzo Borea d'Olmo took on its rich Baroque form during 17th-18th century renovation. The actual structure, though, dates from Mediaeval times. Above the entrance is a 16th century sculpture...
MM212 Says: La Città Vecchia (the old city) of Sanremo, known as "la Pigna," is a small quarter made up of winding alleys that follow the contours of a small hill. It is accessed through numerous narrow passageways built in mediaeval times as a way to protect the citizens from...
Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angeli
MM212 Says: Possibly Sanremo's most beautiful Baroque church, Santa Maria degli Angeli is located in the commercial centre on Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi. The façade is richly decorated with floral motifs and curves.
MM212 Says: This church is occupied by the Capuchins (hence the name). Although their presence in the city of Sanremo dates back to the 17th century, their church seems to have been built, or renovated, in the 19th century. It has a Neoclassical façade and is located next to the Casinò...
MM212 Says: Completed in 1913, this impressive Russian Orthodox church is dedicated to the Saviour and Saint Catherine. It was modelled after Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, complete with polychrome onion domes. It was built during the time when the Russian bourgeoisie flocked to...

newport café american bar: seafood snacks and creative ice-coffees
call_me_rhia Says: Nice place... it's smaller than it looks, though - it's the huge mirror that makes it seem large. However the place is cosy and the staff really nice. It's a good place to go for breakfast, snacks, lunch - or else even just an ice-cream. I had a swordfish baguette (yum) and...
Caffè Ducale: Caffé in the palazzo
MM212 Says: Located in Palazzo Borea d'Olmo with a separate entrance, il Caffè Ducale has an interior with a hint of its palatial past, with vaulted ceilings and chandeliers. It is part enoteca, part café and part restaurant. Its location in the heart of the shopping district of San...
ForestqueenNYC Says: If you are driving to San Remo from France, you will notice the difference as soon as you cross the border. Finally, in San Remo, my brother-in-law lost it and rolled down the window and yelled to the Italian driver in the car next to us, "pasta fasoul". We later learned...
call_me_rhia Says: It was 1876, and the Russian empress the Tsaress Maria Alexandrovnacame to San Remo for three months to spend the winter in a milder climate. Apparently she enjoyed her stay and it soon became a fashion for rich and aristocratic Russian people to come spend their winters...
call_me_rhia Says: San Remo is supposed to be Italy's flower capital - I think it's because of the particular climate that lets flowers bloom all year round. It's emblem is a flower, and there are many festivals connected with flowers. One of them is the peculiar february carnival: dozen of...
call_me_rhia Says: Every yeaar we're tortured by the boring song festival of San Remo on Italian television. It's broadcasted from the ariston theatre and, well, since I happened to be in town, I figured I would want to see this infamous torture room A torture room it is: the theatre in...
amyhouston Says: We drove to San Remo from Nice, France. We left a bit late because we stopped by Monte Carlo on the way but by the time we got to San Remo around 2PM, all the restaurants were closed expect for McDonalds so we ate there took some pictures around the harbor and drove back.
