The nobility built a castle and the walled village of La Pigna to protect the town from Saracen raids. • At first subjected to the countship of Ven=miglia, the community later passed under the dominion of the Genoese bishops. In 1297 they sold it to the Doria and De Mari families. It became a free town in the second half of the 15th century, aer which it expanded to the Pigna hill and at Saint Syrus Cathedral. The almost perfectly preserved old village remains. • Sanremo remained independent from Genoa for a long =me. In 1753, aer 20 years of fierce conflicts, it rose against the hegemonical aempts of the Genoese Republic. At that =me the laer polity built the fortress of Santa Tecla, situated on the beach near the port. The fortress was used as a prison unl 2002. It is now being transformed into a museum. • Aer the French dominaon and the Savoy restoraon (1814), Sanremo was annexed to the kingdom of Sardinia. Since the middle of the 18th century, the town grew rapidly, in part due to the development of tourism: the first grand hotels were built and the town extended along the coast.
