The Santuario della Madonnetta is an 18th-century hillside sanctuary accessible by the Zecca-Righi funicular, offering unexpected panoramic views over Genoa's port and western coastline. Its quiet, elevated setting provides a contemplative escape from the bustling city below.
The sanctuary was founded in the 17th century as a votive chapel and expanded in the 18th century. The hilltop has been a lookout point since medieval times, offering strategic views over port approaches. The funicular connection was established in the early 20th century.
