The Millenary Church of Ruta is a national monument.

The Millenaria di Ruta is a church that has shaped the history and landscape of the Eastern Ligurian Riviera. Founded in the 12th century along the ancient Via Aurelia, at an altitude of approximately 270 meters, it served as a rest stop and transit point for merchants and pilgrims heading to Genoa. Its strategic location, in the heart of the Portofino Natural Park, offers breathtaking views stretching from Camogli to the Golfo Paradiso. This simple and sober stone church housed for centuries an altarpiece by the Flemish painter Joos van Cleve, a masterpiece brought to Liguria thanks to Genoa's flourishing trade. The original work, for safety reasons, was removed and is now housed in the Galleria Nazionale di Palazzo Spinola in Genoa. Today, the Millenaria is not only a historical but also a naturalistic landmark, serving as the starting point for numerous trails that wind through the Portofino promontory, offering visitors the opportunity to explore a unique landscape of Mediterranean scrub and breathtaking views.

well what can I say...beautiful place

The best time to visit Portofino by bike is around 9:30, when the day-trippers haven't arrived yet. Later, visitors flood the small town, and traffic is also quieter.

Magical and unique port

Porto Fino and its bays 👍💪
