The sumptuous Durazzo Centurione sixteenth-century villa, built by order of Marquis Gio Luca Durazzo, is situated in a panoramic position on the San Giacomo di Corte hill. It is surrounded by a splendid terrace with balustrade, decorated with 17th and 18th century statues, and is encircled by a park rich in tropical plants and rare conifers.

The interior of the villa extends over four floors and is considered the prestigious, representative residence of the town. Visitors can see the ground floor rooms, including the beautiful Green Room, the dining room of the Durazzo marquises and the apartments on the main floor, enhanced by period furniture and a small but significant collection of paintings by Ligurian artists of the Genoese 1600s, among whom Domenico Piola, Giovanni Andrea De Ferrari and Luciano Borzone stand out. Also to be noted are the spectacular Stucco Room and the Belvedere Room, containing the family chapel.
 

The park is divided into the following: a romantic park; an Italian garden, with many examples of cycas revoluta; an English-style wood and a small citrus plantation, all enhanced by valuable mosaic paths, statues, marble busts and fountains. Due to the richness and importance of its flora and tree species, the park has been twinned with the Villa Hanbury Botanical Gardens, Ventimiglia.
