Bussana Vecchia

Ruins of Church of SantEgidio, Bussana Vecchia, Liguria, Italy

Ruins of Church of SantEgidio, Bussana Vecchia, Liguria, Italy

Seven kilometres northeast of San Remo lies an intriguing artists' colony. On Ash Wednesday 1887, an earthquake destroyed the village of Bussana Vecchia. It remained a ghost town until the 1960s, when artists and counterculture devotees moved in and began rebuilding the ruins using the original stones from the rubble. A thriving community of international artists remains in residence today. To get there, take a bus to Bussana, 5km east of San Remo, and walk the 2km up (30 minutes).
