Oneglia

Oneglia (Ligurian: Inêia or Ineja) is a former town in northern Italy on the Ligurian coast, in 1923 joined to Porto Maurizio to form the Comune of Imperia.

[1] 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, just to make easier the connection between Porto Maurizio and Oneglia.

This specific point of the city, in the early 1930 was the hearth of the Liguria's economy, due to the important oil commerce that was pretty consistent at that time.

Oneglia became a papal domain in the 8th century after the Lombards transferred control of the town to the pope.

[1] However, it later recovered as the town of Ripa Uneliae, and was governed by the bishop of Albenga.
