Rapallo

Rapallo extends between the Gulf of Tigullio and the wooded slopes of eastern Liguria, a position that has made it a long-established stop on the Italian Riviera. Its waterfront follows a sheltered bay, while the historic centre retains narrow lanes, arcades and the Basilica of Saints Gervasius and Protasius. At the eastern end of the promenade, the Castello sul Mare was built in 1551 as a defence against pirate raids and remains Rapallo’s best-known coastal monument. The funicular rises from town to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montallegro in the hills above, linking the seafront with a revered local pilgrimage site.
