Do you know about the existence of the ancient principality of Seborg? It is one of the most amazing micro-states located in the depths of the Ligurian Mountains, near the Nice-Genoa highway. Twenty minutes away - a serpentine from the shores of the Mediterranean - and you find yourself in an amazing city, which is all built of stone and as if grown from a mountain. The streets here are no wider than a double bed, and the area is the size of a dining table. Here the sun shines for half a day, and for half a day the clouds walk, which enter the open doors of the cafe, shake the linen on the ropes. The Minister of Defense meets the guests at the border. The Minister of Economy will invite you to the table and pour wine. The king, who walks around the city, is said to be "traveling the country. "
Even being only about 500 meters long and only three kilometers from the Ligurian Sea, Seborga will enchant you with its picturesque views of the Cote d'Azur, Ventimiglia, the nearest city of Bordighera and the nearby Principality of Monaco. And the fabulous landscape of the Alps will not leave you indifferent.
It is true that the Principality of Seborga is currently recognized as the only state in the world - San Marino, but it has a very legitimate reason for existence. As an independent feudal estate, it has existed for more than a thousand years - since 954! This picturesque place was ruled by Prince Giorgio I. Until 1963, Giorgio Carbone was just a flower merchant. However, later 320 villagers elected him their prince. On November 25.2009, Prince Giorgio I died.
The Seborrhenians elected a government, introduced passports, and approved a budget that included revenues from the sale of flowers, stamps, wine, cheese, and, of course, tourism.
The owner of a local restaurant became the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The duties of the Minister of Sports and Leisure are performed by one person. There is also a professional army. The real thing. With the Minister of Defense and the soldiers. True, together with the commander-in-chief there are only three of them, but the army copes well with the tasks of protecting the state from external aggressors. You will be able to take pictures with the Minister of Defense, guarding the native kingdom and guarding the peace of its inhabitants, buy a tourist passport of the mini-kingdom, where the monarch will put his painting, go to taste local cuisine in the restaurant of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Moscato d 'Asti is the pride of local winemakers.
