Returned to their ancient splendor thanks to a recent restoration and redevelopment of the area, the medieval village walls, dating back to the 16th century, are today a place of peace and wonder.

The bastion called ‘Murru de Bö’ is located at the western end of the sixteenth-century town walls, at the highest point of the historic center.

The ‘terrace’ of the Upper Town hosts a prestigious museum of photography (temporarily closed), with international displays and a collection of photographs, postcards, and vintage images illustrating the evolution of Ventimiglia and its history.

The exhibition room on the ground floor leads to a ‘secret’ garden, hidden by the walls. From here, a staircase on flying buttresses takes visitors to the first floor room and to the panoramic terrace, from which they can admire the town, the Ligurian Sea, and the French Riviera.
