More about Farsa
In 1953 the great earthquake, that struck the island, almost completely destroyed the houses. Today only some examples of traditional architecture such as outdoor stairs, wells, cisterns, and gates have been left to remind the past, alongside the modern houses. The village also suffered big bombardment by the Germans in 1943 when the Italian Acqui Division refused to surrender willingly.
The inhabitants were mainly sailors so they created the Maritime Museum which has not started operating yet. Near Farsa, there are 2 small ports; the Ligia and the Limnioni.
