The Empress promenade is one of the symbols of the splendour that Sanremo, and the whole Riviera dei Fiori, had between 1800 and 1900.
This beautiful promenade on the sea, paved with marble and adorned with the statue of the spring by the sculptor Vincenzo Pasquali, is called so in honor of the Empress of Russia, Maria Alexandrovna.
Some of the palm trees that make this Promenade unique are still those that the Czarina decided to give to the city of Sanremo as a thank you for her pleasant stay on the Riviera.
