Tips

Ancient chapel of uncertain age, it is located on the site where the birthplace of Jacopo da Voragine is believed to have stood.

It owes its current appearance to interventions in the second half of the 20th century, although the ancient barrel vault can still be recognized inside. With a single nave, it has a square presbytery and a small bell tower on the facade, above the entrance door.

Located along hiking trails, from here you can reach, with a couple of kilometers of walking, the Guardia sanctuary which dominates Varazze.
