The Balzi Rossi: an exploration of prehistory overlooking the sea
The Balzi Rossi: an exploration of prehistory overlooking the sea

Among the wonders to be discovered around Diano Marina, we recommend a visit to Balzi Rossi, the most important archaeological area in Liguria. Located in Ventimiglia, about an hour's drive from our hotel, this extraordinary site overlooking the sea will take you back in time more than 200,000 years.

The famous Balzi Rossi caves, set in the rock overlooking the coast, have yielded human remains, stone tools and artefacts dating back to the Palaeolithic period. A unique site that tells the story of the life of prehistoric man and the evolution of human presence in the Mediterranean.

Inside the Balzi Rossi Prehistoric Museum, you can admire important finds, including the famous “Palaeolithic Venuses”, testimony to the spirituality and art of our ancestors.

A cultural excursion not to be missed, perfect for lovers of history, archaeology and nature. Our staff will be happy to suggest the best itinerary for visiting this extraordinary site during your holiday in Diano Marina.
