The large churchyard of Santo Stefano in Lavagna

The large churchyard of Santo Stefano in Lavagna.
The churchyard of the Basilica of Santo Stefano in Lavagna is famous for its beautiful risseu, mosaics made from black and white pebbles arranged in geometric patterns. The basilica itself, located in the town of Lavagna in Liguria, is an imposing structure that dominates the town and the surrounding sea.
The Basilica of Santo Stefano in Lavagna has a fascinating history that dates back many centuries. The first mention of a religious building on the site dates back to the 6th century, although some sources suggest it may be even older. Originally, there was a signal tower for sailors on the site, next to which the first church was built.
Over the centuries, the basilica has undergone numerous changes and restorations. In 1060, it was elevated to a collegiate church and became an important ecclesiastical center under the protection of the Holy See of Rome. The noble Fieschi family, who dominated the region, always had a special regard for the church, considering it a religious reference point of their dominion.
The current structure of the basilica was completed in 1668, with the consecration taking place in 1703. In 1921, Pope Benedict XV elevated the church to the rank of minor basilica.
The basilica is also known for its richly decorated interior and for the churchyard with the characteristic black and white pebble mosaics, typical of the Ligurian tradition.

I took a lot of photos in the town of Lavagna and you can find almost all of them in this page or by searching in the various article specific to the Ligurian city.
I refer you to the Lavagna tourist promotion website: lavagnaturismo.it. This is the official website of the town's municipality: comune.lavagna.ge.it.
If you are looking for a nice portal that talks about all of Liguria I invite you to visit the official website of the Region: lamialiguria.it.
If you are looking for some books about the beautiful town of Lavagna I recommend: Intra Siestri e Chiaveri: Adriano V dei Fieschi tra storia e finzione and I Fieschi. Storia di una famiglia. If instead you want to have a guide that talks about Liguria and Tigullio I invite you to see: Genova e il Tigullio by Lonely Planet.
