Varese Ligure — Il Borgo Rotondo

Liguria

Varese Ligure's old quarter follows an unusual circular street plan around a central piazza, built to a deliberate design rather than growing organically like most Ligurian hill towns. The Val di Vara around it is known for organic farming, giving the surrounding countryside an unusually tidy, cultivated look.
