Borgomaro, an almost unknown Ligurian village....

The medieval village of Borgomaro, with a population of 823, is located near the ruins of the former "Maro O Castello" and in days gone it was an important fortified village that was very difficult for hostile armies to take.

The village was isoltated for a long time and until the last century it could only reached by mule.

 

At the front, the village was protected by the Maro river and from the front there were only a few hidden passages to the streets and residential houses, making it almost impossible to conquer.

 

Long corridors ran under the houses and the front doors of the houses.

To this day, the houses and their front doors can only reached throught thes long, dark subterranean corridors........
