Description
Liguria is a coastal region of north-western Italy, where Genoa is the capital. The region is popular with tourists for its beaches, towns, and cuisine. It is bordered by France to the west, Piedmont to the north, and Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany to the east. It lies on the Ligurian Sea. The narrow strip of land is bordered by the sea, the Alps and the Apennines mountains. Some mountains rise above 2000 m; the watershed line runs at an average altitude of about 1000 m. The winding arched extension goes from Ventimiglia to La Spezia. Of this,1,360.65 sq mi are mountainous(65% of the total)and 344.38 sq mi are hills(35% of the total). Liguria's natural reserves cover 12% of the entire region. They are made up of one national reserve, six large parks, two smaller parks and three nature reserves. The ring of hills lying immediately beyond the coast together with the sea account for a mild climate year-round. This is the fascinating landscape that will impress people on their journey through this historically rich and dynamic region.
