The Palm Grove
Bordighera is known as “the city of palms” and its exotic charm reveals itself in all its intensity in the Arziglia area, looking towards Villa Garnier and the Beodo.
According to legend, it was Saint Ampelio who, in the 5th century, brought date seeds from Egypt, from which these magnificent palms were born.
What is certain is that Bordighera is the only place in the world, at such a northern latitude, where Phoenix dactylifera palms grow spontaneously.
