Culture and History

The parish church of Saint-Côme-et-Saint-Damien in Ambiegna was completed in 1902 and has an elongated floor plan. Its interior features a barrel vault with lunettes. A painting of Saint Anthony of Padua and the Christ Child in Ambiegna’s parish church was listed as a protected object in 2016.

The olive trees in Ambiegna bear witness to the village’s agricultural past. The fertile soils along the Liamone have been inhabited since the Neolithic period and cultivated throughout the centuries. In ancient times, the lower Liamone Valley saw intensive agricultural activity, mainly focused on livestock farming. Ambiegna had a water-powered sawmill that processed heath root burls into pipe blanks and exported them.
