The City
Located on the Western Ligurian Riviera in the
inlet between Mola Point and Aspera Point, it
enjoys a remarkable historical tradition still
readable today in its urban layout.
Archaeological findings housed in the Alpicella
Museum confirm the presence of man since
the Neolithic age. Called Navalia at first and
Varagine later on, it was the birth-place of
Jacopo da Varagine, the saint of the
"Golden Legend", Lanzerotto Malocello, who discovered Canary Islands, and many other. Varazze was given the title of town in 1864. The shipbuilding industry has a very long-standing tradition and is much appreciated worldwide still today.

GARDENS
Any kind of plants and flowers live at Varazze, from the typical Mediterranean greenery, so rich in colours, to examples of tropical and exotic vegetation.
The evocative avenue lined with gorgeous palms and luxuriant gardens create a matchless fusion of all kinds of vegetation, thanks to a favorable combination of nature and climate as well.
