San Fruttuoso
The Monastic complex, small paradise, was donated to the Italian Environmental Protection Foundation by the Doria family. It includes an 11th century church with octagonal bell tower, Romanesque cloister, a 13th century palazzo supported by sturdy arches with noble triple-lancet windows and the Doria family crypt.
Rent a characteristic fishing boat to admire the statue of the “Cristo degli abissi” lowered into the bay by locals on 29 August 1954 from an idea by the Genovese scuba diver Duilio Marcante.
The two and a half meter and 260 kilogram bronze statue is the work of Guido Galletti. To allow everyone to admire it even in bad sea conditions, a copy of the Christ statue was placed in the chapel adjoining the Church of San Fruttuoso in 1974.
