Diano Castello is a city located in the heart of Liguria, known for its natural beauty and its ancient history. The city, located on a hill, is dominated by the imposing medieval fortress, which stands on the top of the hill.
The history of Diano Castello is linked to fishing and agriculture since ancient times. During the Roman era, Diano Castello was an important agricultural and commercial center, with a strong economic and political power. During the Middle Ages, Diano Castello became a maritime fortress, thanks to the construction of a medieval castle that can still be admired today.
Over the centuries it has experienced moments of great prosperity, but also of difficulties, such as during the Saracen invasions and the wars between the Maritime Republics. However, its natural beauty and strong agricultural tradition have helped keep the community of Diano Castello alive, which today is one of the main tourist destinations in Liguria. The city is famous for its long and sandy beach, surrounded by steep cliffs, which attracts many tourists every year. The historic center is characterized by narrow streets, colorful houses and a 12th-century Romanesque church, the Church of San Giovanni Battista, which houses a valuable wooden crucifix from the 13th century
Today it is an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful and relaxing holiday, surrounded by nature and history. With its privileged position, it offers a spectacular view of the sea and the surrounding hills, and allows you to discover the treasures of the Ligurian hinterland.
