Ventimiglia
For a long time border and passage city, it preserves still today the charm proper of the places which saw people from different places flowing.
Important artists bequeathed notable residences, such as
Villa Hanbury, an English traveller that began the construction of a park rich in rare tropical plants. The botanical garden houses thousands of species on around 19 hectares.
Exotic plants of every origin are represented here, officinal plants, century-old olive trees and ancient citrus plantations. The
Hanbury botanical gardens are managed by the
University of Genoa.
Built on a rock spur to the right of the stream, in a wonderful panoramic position and plunged in an exceptional setting.
