About Savona
Savona is a seaport on the Ligurian Sea and the main city of the western Italian Riviera, with a population of around 58,000. The Genoese built the Priamar fortress in 1542 on the site of the old cathedral and old city, and it now houses a museum centre. The Torre del Brandale, also called the Campanassa, is where Savona's declaration of freedom was signed in 1191. The Cathedral of the Assumption and the Sistine Chapel in its cloisters are the main interiors. Christopher Columbus spent much of his youth here. The homes sit close together in the city area, are small, mostly sleep around four, and none has a private pool. The historic centre is small and walkable, and buses are the way out to the beach.

When to go to Savona
Savona is a working port and city rather than a resort, so a visit does not hang on the beach season.

Beaches are reached by bus from the centre, and the Priamar museums make a fallback on a wet day.
