The charming Via Garibaldi in the center of Sestri Levante.
Via Garibaldi, formerly known as “Via dell’Oro”, is one of the most charming streets in Sestri Levante, a picturesque town located on the Ligurian coast. Named after the famous Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi, this street is a place rich in history and culture, perfect for a relaxing stroll.
The street was known as “Via dell’Oro” because of the mineral riches of the Libiola area, located nearby. Libiola was famous for its copper mines, which were exploited intensively since Roman times. The extracted minerals were piled up in warehouses along Via Garibaldi waiting to be transported by sea. The nickname comes from the shine of some of these metals.
Via Garibaldi is characterized by historic buildings dating back to different periods, offering a mix of architectural styles that reflect the rich history of the town. The colorful facades of the houses and the unique architectural details make this street a real gem for art and history lovers.
One of the main points of interest of Via Garibaldi is its proximity to the sea. A few steps from the street, visitors can reach the beautiful beaches of Sestri Levante, such as Baia del Silenzio and Baia delle Favole. These beaches are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the breathtaking views of the Ligurian Sea.
