About this place

A Marian sanctuary documented from 1335, perched at 340–355 metres above Riomaggiore in the surrounding hills. This is the starting point of the Sanctuary Route and commands spectacular views across the Gulf of the Poets and the entire Cinque Terre coastline. The site is well-trodden by hikers and carries historical significance as a place visited by the painter Telemaco Signorini. Well worth a visit for the panoramas alone.
