The tower, the guardian of the sea
The bastions along the coast of Liguria were part of an ancient system of lookout towers.
The Coscia tower is Alassio’s bastion and was built in the 16th century by the Republic of Genoa.
It is very well preserved and the mighty stone and brick circular structure is still an imposing sight. It kept the town safe against pirates and is one of Alassio’s symbols.
The Coscia Tower was built in the 16th century to defend our town against invaders coming from the sea. One of only a few such towers still standing, it seems to still be protecting us.
Throughout our history, Alassio has been very popular with the English as a destination for holidays and more.
Alassio boasts a great number of churches in a wide range of architectural styles reflecting different periods of history.
In 1953 Mario Berrino began decorating a little wall, or Muretto, opposite Caffè Roma, creating an open-air art installation which continues to constantly evolve.
Via XX Settembre, Via Vittorio Veneto and Via Brennero form the area known as Budello, a long traditional Ligurian lane of historic buildings, bars, boutiques and shops.
