Imperia is a beautiful coastal city between Genoa, Italy and the French border. It was created by the unification of Oneglio, Porto Maurizio and the surrounding villages. Between Porto Maurizio and Oneglio, there is the river Imperia, after which the city is named.

If you enter Imperia through the west, the road following the coastline quickly opens up to a beautiful view of a large bay of shimmering blue water. This city is covered by majestic hills covered with colorful orange buildings.

Imperia is famous for growing olives and flowers. Also, Imperia is a popular summer destination for tourists. The local Piscina Felice Cascione indoor hosted several local and global aquatic events.
