It is the\u00a0commercial<\/strong><\/span> heart<\/strong> of this Ligurian town, a must-see when you stroll along the city centre. Try the famous “Baci di Alassio<\/strong>“, delicious hazelnut and cocoa-based sweets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What makes the Muretto special? The presence of various works, such as the ceramic reproductions of Peynet’s “Les Amoureux” or the steel storks of Pino Mastroianni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Alassio is the city of lovers <\/strong>par excellence, and in fact, there is even a postbox here where you can leave your love letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Borgo Coscia Tower <\/strong>is located in the northern district of Alassio, where there are fantastic beaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Torrione dates back to the XVI century<\/strong> and was built by the Genoese both to defend the village and to spot any approaching pirate ships in good time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can still see the stone and brick structure today, though the interior is not open to visitors. However, it is well worth a visit, to admire the view of the seafront<\/strong>. It will take your breath away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We advise you to head to the seafront in the evening when the sun is about to set and when it takes on that unmistakable red hue. This is for sure the best time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The pier is another really symbolic<\/strong> place in Alassio and is located halfway along the beach. It is easily accessible from anywhere in the town centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
