#mediterraneanvibes 📍 Location: Seborga (Comune di Seborga), Province of Imperia, Liguria, Italy 📍 Address: Palazzo Miraveglia – Via Miranda 2, 18012 Seborga IM Nestled atop a ridge at 500 m with sweeping views to the French Riviera and Alps, Seborga is an enchanting medieval village famed for its claim as a sovereign micro‑principality. It maintains its own prince, coins (luigini), passport, and flag—the result of a quirky revival of claims dating back to its days as a Benedictine abbey-principality (954–1729). 🕰️ Highlights • Church of San Martin. Baroque church dating to 1615 with a parish elevated in 1749. • Palazzo dei Monaci & Mint Museum: Former Benedictine mint where the luigini were struck; now housing exhibits and musical instruments. • Belvedere Martiri Patrioti & Vittoria Delfanti: Panoramic overlooks with ceremonial sentry boxes and historic cannon volleys on Sundays. • Church of San Bernardo & Oratory of Madonna of Alvenia: Medieval chapels with frescoes, located near the village entrance. • Ancient Prison & Templar Chapel: Atmospheric relics from Seborga’s past judicial system, nestled in narrow alleyways. 🚗 Tips for Visitors • Getting There: From A10 Bordighera exit; follow SP57 and park near Piazza Martiri Patrioti or Via Casette. • Best Time: Mid–late afternoon brings golden light and fewer tourists—ideal for photos. • Footwear: Wear sturdy shoes—stone alleys, steps, and steep paths await exploration. • Local Culture: Visit on 20 August for the Saint Bernard festival or first Sunday monthly for princely cannon salute. • Souvenirs: The town hall sells official luigini coins, passports, and principality stamps—must-haves for collectors! #Seborga #PrincipalityOfSeborga #Micronation #BorghiPiùBelli #Liguria #MedievalVillage #HiddenItaly #Luigini #TravelItaly#historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #海岛游 #历史古迹
