The View of the Village of Apricale (Liguria)

Apricale is a beautiful hilltop medieval village with prehistoric roots. The town is just 8 km from the sea and about 4 km from Dolceacqua…..but you’re totally in another world - this is a beautiful charming and interesting little town (filled with frescoes and murals). The town centers about the 11th century Castello della Lucertola and the village circles and falls down the hill from there — terribly evocative. The castle is a town museum and exhibition center (art shows, concerts, meetings ). The museum offers history and legends as well as local artifacts of the town. The town is characterized by stone walls and buildings, alleys, arches, flowers, frescoes and views: totally wonderful - thoroughly beautiful.
