it looks See also:south over a small See also:bay, and, protected towards the See also:north by hills rising gradually from Soo to 8000 ft., it is in See also:climate one of the most favoured places on the whole See also:coast, a fact which accounts for the See also:great reputation as a See also:winter resort which it has enjoyed since 1861. The older town, with its narrow steep streets and lofty sombre houses protected against earthquakes by See also:arches connecting them, contrasts with the new visitors' town, containing all the public buildings, which has grown up at the See also:foot of the hill. The fort of S. Tecla protects the small See also:harbour, sheltered by its sickle-shaped See also:mole, 1300 ft. See also:long. The See also:promenade of San Remo is the Corso dell' Imperatrice, See also:running from the See also:main See also:street, the Via See also:Vittorio Emanuele, along the coast to the Giardino dell' Imperatrice; it is a broad road shaded by See also:palm-trees, and was, like the See also:garden, constructed at the expense of the empress Maria Alexandrovna of See also:Russia (d. 188o). The See also:Villa Thiem has a valuable picture-See also:gallery, containing for the most See also:part examples of the great 17th-See also:century masters of the See also:Netherlands.

church of the Madonna della See also:Costa, at the See also:top of the old town, may be mentioned. In front of it is a large See also:hospital. On the See also:east of the harbour, the promenade along the coast is called the Passeggiata Imperatore Federico in memory of the See also:German See also:emperor See also:Frederick, whose visit to the town in 1887-1888 greatly increased its repute as a winter resort. See also:Flowers, especially See also:roses and carnations, are extensively grown for export, and See also:olives, lemons and palms are also cultivated.
San Remo appears to have been dependent on Genoa in its See also:early days, but became See also:independent in 1361. In 1544 the town was attacked by See also:Barbarossa, and in 1625 by the See also:French and Savoyards. The Genoese, against whose encroachments it had long defended its See also:independence, subjugated it in 1753; in 1797 it was incorporated in the Ligurian See also:republic, and in 1814 passed to See also:Piedmont.
