The Church of SS Annunziata del Vastato, built in 1867, has a neoclassical façade with two eighteenth-century bell towers and a grandiose six-column pronaos in Ionic style.
It is made magnificent by polychrome marbles, gilded stuccos and frescoes that represent "the mystery of the annunciation" and "the Assumption". In the naves and on the altars we can admire an infinite series of great pictorial works by extraordinary artists of the Genoese school and beyond: Procaccini, Domenico Piola, Domenico Fiasella, Anton Maria Maragliano, Luca Cambiaso and many others.
