Building kept in perfect condition.

The historic center of Sassello, nestled in the Savona hinterland, has ancient origins linked, according to legend, to the Romans Statielli and the Saracens (10th-century tower). Characterized by a medieval atmosphere, the village is known for its typical architecture, the historic production of amaretti (since 1860), and places of worship such as the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.

One of the longest tunnels on the cycle path

Built before the year 1000 and often referred to in the Middle Ages as "San Giorgio de Prats" for the meadows surrounding it, it was the parish of many villages in the area, now no longer in existence. It marks an ancient center of religious life along the Via Julia Augusta and was likely founded by the Benedictines. In 1616, when the parish of the nearby town of Campochiesa was established, the Church of San Giorgio was gradually abandoned. The Church of San Giorgio preserves a precious cycle of frescoes dating from the 13th to the 16th centuries, which testify to the development and decline of the building and the entire surrounding area. The paintings on the walls, in the Church's intention, serve an educational purpose: to educate and strengthen the faithful who contemplate them in the Christian faith. The Last Judgement, the figures of the Saints, or scenes from the history of salvation and the life of the Virgin Mary are equally reminders of the realities of faith so that it can be lived in everyday life.
