Framura

Framura, in eastern Liguria, is a cluster of villages that retain the charm of the past. The rugged, seaside territory includes five hamlets—Anzo, Ravecca, Setta, Costa, and Castagnola—connected by a panoramic staircase. The coastline alternates between cliffs and small coves, accessible via the Via del Mare, a scenic seaside walkway that begins at the train station.Anzo is home to a 15th-century Genoese tower and the chapel of Nostra Signora della Neve. Ravecca offers a distinctly medieval atmosphere. The town hall is located in Setta, which is protected by a Genoese tower, as well. Costa features a Carolingian tower and the 10th-century Church of San Martino, which houses a Madonna of the Rosary, painted by Bernardo Strozzi. Castagnola concludes the route with the parish church of San Lorenzo, where The Deposition by Luca Cambiaso can be admired. In 2024, Framura was awarded the Blue Flag, award given to beaches that meet high standard of sustainability, for the 12th consecutive year.
