Placed to around 30 Kms by Sanremo, Apricale it is an ancient suburb perched on the top of a hill of the hinterland of the Liguria. The houses and the alleys are rigorously of stone, practicable only afoot, the auto is had to park along the road. Just entered the suburb, among the stradines you can be admired some "murales" that they accompany you during the whole visit of the small center. These paintings on the walls of the houses represent scenes of daily life of the country liguris. After having crossed little street in descent and in slope, after being passed under different arcs in stone and after having been climbed on different steps, he comes in the small square of the suburb, on which lean

out the building of the commune and the church of Saint Maria in Albis of the XIII century, to whose inside is preserved the fresco of the crowning of the Virgo, of 1400. In the bright plaza an ancient fountain drinking trough and the oratory of St. Bartholomew you can be admired, with the Baroque façade overhung by a bell turret. If it were for the price of the ticket, there would be to visit the castle of the Lizard, with its hanging garden and its rooms, in style liberty. Our suggestion is that to visit the suburb in a beautiful day of sun and to rest yourselves in the small square drinking a fresh drink, for the one who wanted to taste some specialties of the kitchen ligure, there are some restaurants, clearly "the good food pay a lot."
