Visit Bussana Vecchia
Bussana Vecchia is situated near sanremo, in the Liguria region near the western border of Italy with France.
In 1887 the village of Bussana Vecchia, in the south-west of Liguria, was destroyed by an earthquake that hit the region.
Although the village was subsequently rebuilt, a little nearer the sea than the original, the ruins of the village and the church remained and can now be explored.
Some of these evocative ruins have since been taken over by artists, who have established studios and galleries within the ruins of the original buildings. Several have remained in the village ruins for many years.
Occasional concerts and exhibitions are also held in Bussana Vecchia - the perfect setting!
A very interesting little place to visit and to explore.
