Cammino dei Santuari of Riccò del Golfo
A walk among the sanctuaries and villages of the Spezia hinterland
About Cammino dei Santuari
Walking between faith and landscape
In Riccò del Golfo di Spezia, a municipality in the hinterland of the province of La Spezia, the Cammino dei Santuari is a collective walk that crosses the historical and religious heritage of the area. The initiative, promoted by the Municipality together with the Pro Loco I Borghi di Riccò, invites residents and visitors to rediscover often little-known paths, sanctuaries, and villages.
The route
The route, approximately 9.3 kilometers long, starts from the church of San Bartolomeo in Ponzò and reaches the Sanctuary of dell'Agostina, passing through the Sanctuary of San Gottardo and the village of Casella. The return to Ponzò is via Valdipino, with a visit to the historic Oratory of San Michele.
A heritage to rediscover
More than just a simple excursion, the Cammino dei Santuari is an opportunity to learn about the cultural and spiritual identity of the Spezia hinterland, amidst chapels, oratories, and ancient places of worship immersed in the green hills overlooking the Gulf of La Spezia.
