Imperia (city) in the context of Oneglia

Oneglia (Italian: [oˈneʎʎa]; Ligurian: Inêia or Ineja; Occitan: Onelha; French: Oneille) is a former town on the Ligurian coast in northern Italy, in 1923 joined to Porto Maurizio to form the municipality of Imperia. The name is still used for the suburb.

The Imperia Oneglia railway station was closed in 2016, due to the new organization of the city, which provides a new station in the middle core of the city of Imperia, to make the connection between Porto Maurizio and Oneglia easier.
