The municipality of Triora contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Bregalla, Cetta, Creppo, Goina, Loreto, Monesi, Realdo, Verdeggia, and Saccarello.
Triora acquired a kind of gruesome renown having seen the last witch trials ever held in Italy during the Renaissance. As such it has been selected as the location of a series of folklore- and horror-themed events and festivals in the last years.
Triora borders the following municipalities: Briga Alta, Castelvittorio, La Brigue (France), Mendatica, Molini di Triora, Montegrosso Pian Latte, Pigna and Saorge (France).
