The town is anchored by the Castello di Santa Margherita Ligure and the hilltop Villa Durazzo, which houses botanical gardens overlooking the harbor. Notable religious sites include the Cervara Abbey on the road to Portofino and the Basilica of Santa Margherita, known for its rose-themed relics. These landmarks document the maritime history and architectural evolution of the Italian Riviera from the Middle Ages through the 19th century.
