Borghetto D'arroscia invites you to get to know a place through its paths, churches and traditional festivals passed down through the generations. If you choose a holiday apartment in Borghetto D'arroscia for a trip with varied interests, you will find several concrete points of connection here: restored water heritage, sacred art, districts with historical traces, a circular hiking trail and a festival honouring a traditional Ligurian dish. This allows you to organise your stay around the themes you would like to discover together.

Antica Bialera and the route through the town

The “L’antica via dell’acqua di Borghetto d’Arroscia” project included the restoration of the Antica Bialera. The Antica Bialera route runs from the Ponte Romanico to the town’s restored square. The start at the Ponte Romanico and the end at the restored square give the route a fixed sequence through Borghetto. For those interested in culture, the restored water heritage remains present from the beginning to the end of the route described.

San Pantaleo: church and attributed frescoes

The Church of San Pantaleo dates from the 15th century and is located approximately 1 kilometre from Borghetto on the road from Pieve di Teco to Albenga. Its frescoes are attributed to Pietro Guidi da Ranzo. San Pantaleo therefore adds both a dated architectural history and fresco art to the cultural themes of your trip. The approximate distance of around 1 kilometre also provides a concrete spatial reference for a day combining several cultural attractions.

Districts with historical and high-altitude impressions

The remains of a medieval tower have been preserved in the district of Ubaga. In Gavenola, the Church of Santi Cosma e Damiano is located on Colle San Cosimo at an altitude of 1,069 metres. The two districts differ in their specific features: Ubaga preserves the remains of a tower, while Gavenola combines the church’s location with Colle San Cosimo and the altitude of 1,069 metres.

Circular hiking trail and walking direction to the chapel

The ruins of Ubaga’s ancient tower are part of a mixed circular hiking trail. From the Church of Santi Cosma e Damiano, you can walk in the direction of the Madonna del Monte chapel.

Traditional procession in Borghetto

During the Good Friday procession, children dressed as the angelic host of San Michele accompany Christ, who has been taken down from the cross, every five years. For preservation reasons, reproductions of the historical costumes are now worn; the tradition continues to be passed down.

The Sagra della buridda in Leverone

The Sagra della buridda takes place in the district of Leverone. It is a festival in honour of a traditional Ligurian dish. The festival specifically focuses on buridda as a traditional Ligurian dish and connects this culinary reference with the district of Leverone.
