Main Tourist
Attractions
The main tourist attractions in the town of Levanto are undoubtedly its splendid beaches. From an architectural and cultural point of view, highlights include the Medieval Castle, built to defend the town and still perfectly preserved; the Church of Sant’Andrea, a fine example of 13th-century Ligurian Gothic with its black and white striped façade and a magnificent rose window above the main entrance; the Church of Santa Maria della Costa; and Villa Agnelli, built in the early 1900s on the most beautiful point of the town.
Gastronomy
The local gastronomy is based on the rich variety of fish caught in the gulf, as well as on excellent wines and olive oil from the valley. One dish, in particular, reflects the area’s history and environment: gattafin, a type of ravioli filled with wild greens from the countryside and fried in olive oil. Tradition has it that this dish was a staple for the poorer classes and, in particular, for the quarry workers in the Mesco sandstone caves, where wild herbs are still abundant today.
