A classic Ligurian village that deserves a stop in the small streets that distinguish it!

Currently under restoration, very characteristic point

Highly recommended as a stop. Stunning frescoed church, if visited, otherwise beautiful view of the Prino Valley. I suggest the commemorative plaque of Roosevelt's visit on the back of the church.

One of the most beautiful ancient rural churches in the area, formerly a FAI site. The ancient country church of S. Anna is a fifteenth-century religious building, still characterized by a beautiful rustic rose window, which originally housed a triptych now preserved in the parish church of Vasia. in it there was also the Flemish painting attributed to Jan Roos which is currently located in Moltedo. A place of rare calm and beauty that I visit very often and where I love to stop and enjoy the view.

Located in an elevated and panoramic place, the sanctuary of Our Lady of Grace is the perfect place to take a break along your journey. The history of this place is quite rich: in the fourteenth century a small chapel was built following a Marian apparition. Subsequently, in 1450, the sanctuary was built. Inside there are frescoes from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

beautiful sanctuary with a very important water point within walking distance !!!!!!

The Prela valley extends towards the sea up to Moltedo, a town surrounded by olive trees close to Porto Maurizio, formerly called Morteo, i.e. a place full of myrtles, from "myrtetum". In the Middle Ages the cultivation of myrtle was very extensive, because the plant was used to decorate churches and to tan leather; tanning was a well-documented activity in the Val Prino (first half of the 17th century) with numerous "fides" in the deeds of Dolcedesi notaries. Moltedo and divided into two districts, the lower one once belonged to the Genoese and the upper one was part of the Savoy jurisdiction. A small stream divided the two villages and the Savoyard state from the Genoese one at the same time. Therefore, the inhabitants of the same parish were subjects of different states. As a border village, smugglers and brigands found refuge there, for reasons of traffic or by invoking the right of asylum. Tradition has it that, among these, the famous Flemish painter Antonio VanDyck (1599-1641) took refuge in Moltedo. In 1624, perhaps in the church of S. Anna, he would have painted the famous picture of the Holy Family, using the rough canvas used by the peasants for the olive harvest, after having been the protagonist of a romantic adventure with a young Genoese patrician, Paolina Adorno , his model for a painting of the Madonna and next wife of Count Antonio Giulio Brignole. A tender love had blossomed between the two with a sensational epilogue when on the very day of their wedding with Brignole, the enterprising artist with a mask on her face kidnapped the noblewoman and with her took refuge in Moltedo in Savoyard territory.

Very nice church with a beautiful view!
