Capo Mele Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Capo Mele and its lighthouse are protagonists every year of the two races that open the Italian cycling season, both of great importance: the Laigueglia Trophy and the Milano-Sanremo. Located between the municipalities of Andora and Laigueglia, the promontory of Capo Mele is little more than a small hill, but the view is certainly panoramic.

Highlight • Viewpoint

"The" little wall "(Italian: muretto), designed by Mario Berrino, is a popular destination for tourists as well as those interested in art. Until the end of the Second World War, it was only a small enclosure wall around the Alassios city park. During the economic boom in the In the 1960s and 1970s, however, the city's citizens began to embellish the wall with irregularly shaped tiles.
The first tile was installed in 1951 by the writer Ernest Hemingway while he was in town. Other painted tiles were donated by the Quartetto Cetra and Cosimo Di Ceglie, for example. The custom is still alive today, and meanwhile numerous signatures (around 500) of famous personalities adorn the "Little Wall of Alassio". "(Source: Wikipedia)
