Diano Castello

Diano Castello, a village steeped in history, is set in a scenic position.

Overlooking the Golfo Dianese (Gulf of Diano), in ancient times it was the centre of the Communitas diani, a semi-autonomous community within the Republic of Genoa.

Its monuments are testimony to its medieval past and defence against the Saracens, a fascinating example being the lone, ancient underground water storage tanks.

Diano Castello hosts cultural activities and events, including traditional fairs, art and food.
