The village of Finalborgo is 3,12 kilometers far from the same town of Finale Ligure to whom it belongs. Finalborgo is a beautiful Italian Riviera seaside town.
The place name derives from Burgum Finarii, a border town (ad fines, at the border) at the time of the Romans and administrative centre of the marquisate of the Del Carretto family between the 14th and 16th centuries.
Closed in between medieval walls and still well preserved, interspersed with semicircular towers and interrupted only by the gates, Borgo di Finale (so called to differentiate it from the Marina) immediately offers the visitor a feeling of protection and welcome.
The ancient conception of defense and community survives in the criss-crossing of the roads, placed perpendicularly to each other to form fascinating views inside limited spaces.
Traversed by narrow alleyways, every piazza is a conquest and a surprise, presenting marvels fashioned with the "stone of Finale": slate, which embellishes the town gates, is shaped into columns, diamonds, ornaments.
