Also known as the “The City of Popes”, Savona has many religious buildings. In addition to the Duomo complex, comprising the Cattedrale di Nostra Signora Assunta, the Cappella Sistina, the Museo del Tesoro and Pope Pius VII’s apartment, the main oratories are also a must during a visit to the city.

Renowned across the Liguria region for their precious processional floats, Savona’s oratories are a notable example of fervid religious lay life to this day.

Sitting just outside the city, the shrine known as the Santuario di Nostra Signora della Misericordia is also an unmissable destination for tourists and worshippers alike.
