Church of St James, Gavi

Highlight • Religious Site

The facade is in Romanesque style, intact as when the Church was built, in local sandstone, in the second half of the 12th century, on the remains of a hospice for pilgrims traveling to the sanctuary of San Giacomo di Compostella. In the portal there is a lunette with the LAST SUPPER.

Castello di Lerma

Highlight • Castle

The castle of Lerma dates back in its fundamental structures to the end of the 15th century when the construction was carried out by Luca Spinola. The imposing castle building stands on a tufaceous rock overlooking the Piota river and preserves the ancient "ricetto" intact within the city walls, the first nucleus of the village which took the name of l'Herma.
