Triora — Il Paese delle Streghe

Liguria

Triora sits high in the Argentina valley's upper reaches, its dark stone houses stacked on a steep spur that once made it a natural fortress. The village earned its nickname from a notorious 1587 witch trial, and its lanes and small ethnographic museum lean into the legend, with views over the surrounding Alpi Liguri from the edge of town.
