History and landmarks
Santissima Annunziata della Costa
< 100 m from the trail as the crow flies
Church founded in 1351 by three Spanish monks of the Hermits of Saint Jerome, first called Our Lady of Consolation. Inside, three aisles on octagonal pillars carry ribbed vaults with carved stone medallions, over a chequered floor of slate and white marble.
Gazzo Mountain
< 100 m from the trail as the crow flies
A limestone summit of 419 metres with a sanctuary to Our Lady of Mercy on top, its flanks eaten away by centuries of quarrying. In the plague of 1656-57 the people of Sestri sheltered in its caves; a speleology museum opened near the top in 1969.
