The Santuario di N.S. del Monte is situated 140 metres above sea level. It has fabulous views of the historic centre and the system of fortresses that surround Genoa and the Bisagno valley. It was one of the first settlements for the local sailing community. The sanctuary consists of a 15th Century convent and a church that was rebuilt in the 17th Century, with many works by D. Fiasella, G.B. Carlone and O. De Ferrari. The Franciscan brothers opened their vast parks to the public and welcome visitors seeking a period of spiritual retreat from everyday life.
