Porto di Sanremo: Port of Sanremo: view from the quay, 1930

The Port of Sanremo can recount centuries of history, of passages and adventures, There is an old saying which goes: The people of Sanremo can sail even without oars". From the medieval times the port has been an almost sacred place for the city, first of all for defence, then for fishing and then for trade.
In the 1930's the arrivals on the boats also began to change: not only fishermen and commercial sailors, but also tourist boats, Although today the tourist port is called Porto Sole, and it is only a few kilometres from the old port , many tourists prefer to anchor here still.
