The Abbazia di San Giuliano is a serene 11th-century Benedictine abbey in the Nervi neighbourhood, set among palm trees overlooking the Ligurian Sea. Its Romanesque cloister and modest church offer a peaceful contrast to the busier attractions in the city centre.
Founded by Benedictine monks in the 11th century, the abbey served as a monastery until the Napoleonic suppressions of the early 19th century. After various secular uses, it was restored and returned to religious use. The Romanesque elements have been carefully preserved through successive restorations.
