The Millenary Church of Ruta is a national monument.

In Ruta di Camogli, along the Via Aurelia, Piazzale Gaggini is an ideal panoramic spot for a break. From the lookout, the view encompasses the entire Golfo Paradiso, with spectacular views stretching from the coast of Recco to Genoa. The Paradis Hotel d'Italie, where Friedrich Nietzsche stayed in the 19th century, once overlooked the square. Today, the building is municipal property, restored and converted into a retirement home, with a garden open as a public park. The square is also an excellent rest area, complete with a beautiful fountain; there's also a grocery store nearby, handy for those in need.

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.

Great trattoria, back garden. Old fashioned cooking!

Still hot, so hot☀️🥵

Still too hot and too many horseflies, I forgot the repellent

A beautiful abandoned place, perhaps it was once looked after.
