Historic Religious Sites in Liguria

Liguria’s religious architecture spans from the black-and-white striped Gothic facades of the Cinque Terre to the Romanesque San Fruttuoso Abbey, accessible only by sea or foot. This collection includes the monumental Genoa Cathedral, known for its treasury and relics of Saint John the Baptist, alongside hilltop sanctuaries like Nostra Signora di Montallegro. These sites showcase diverse styles, including Genoese Romanesque, Baroque interiors in Rapallo, and the iconic cliffside silhouette of San Pietro in Porto Venere, reflecting centuries of maritime and spiritual history.
