A BIT OF HISTORY

The village of Bastia come from the old village of Valirano, which today remains only some rests and the Church of S. Stefano (1100).

This ancient village takes the name of Bastia with the construction of a defensive town-walls (1200/1300), built up during the possession from part of the diocese, and a fortified house made from the Republic of Genoa (1300/1400), where a garrison of run soldiers is stable as body centre of a system of turrets scattered on the territory in complex system of obstruction and sight to defence of the plan and the city of Albenga. 

Of ancient construction it is also the water channel (1400) that is still taken advantage, prove that the local economy was already based of agriculture. 

From 1800, with the end of the Republic of Genoa, it becomes part of the Reign of Sardinia and from 1870 the Reign of Italy.
