Bordighera (; , locally ) is a town and comune in the Province of Imperia, Liguria (Italy).
==Geography== Bordighera is located from the land border between Italy and France, the French coast is visible from the town. Having the Capo Sant'Ampelio, which protrudes into the sea, it is the southernmost commune of the region. The cape is at around the same latitude as Pisa and features a little church built in the 11th century for Sant'Ampelio, the patron saint of the city. Since Bordighera is built where the Maritime Alps plunge into the sea, it benefits from the Foehn effect which creates a special microclimate with warmer winters. Most of the population of Bordighera is aged 50 or more.
