Sant'Agata nativity scene in Imperia: 24 December 2026 to 6 January 2027

For almost fifty years the youth community of Sant'Agata, in the hills of Imperia, has built a different nativity scene every Christmas, one of the best known in western Liguria. The scene recreates the landscape of the hinterland: houses, cobbled lanes, olive groves, hills and mountains, lakes and waterfalls, with traditional crafts at work. There are about 250 figures, around thirty of which move, with special effects. It opens on the night of 24 December 2026, after the 10.30 pm Christmas Mass, and stays open until 6 January 2027 inclusive. The opening hours given by the organisers are: Saturdays and holidays 9 am-12 noon and 2-7 pm, weekdays 2-6.30 pm. It is worth checking them before your visit on the Presepe di Sant'Agata Facebook page.
