The beautiful Borzone Abbey at sunset

La bella Abbazia di Borzone al tramonto

The beautiful Borzone Abbey at sunset.
One of the most beautiful places to visit and, if you have time, take the path that leads to the Megalithic face (which I have already told you about here).

A historical-legendary peculiarity is that the abbey is located on the Sacred Line of San Michele, an imaginary straight connection between various monasteries in Europe.

Have you ever seen the abbey?

The beautiful Borzone Abbey near Borzonasca.
I have already published some photos of the splendid Abbey dedicated to Sant’Andrea Apostolo which is a few kilometers from Borzonasca.
Surrounded by greenery and very well kept! Unfortunately, the last time I was there, it was closed and I could not photograph the interior.
A jewel absolutely worth visiting.

The mysterious megalithic face of Borzone in Liguria

Il volto megalitico di Borzone

The mysterious megalithic face of Borzone in Liguria.
For a long time I had been meaning to go and see this prehistoric monument which is not far from where I live (Sestri Levante).
With a friend, a few months ago now, we seized the opportunity and on a sunny Saturday afternoon in November we went to see the splendid Borzone Abbey and from there, following the short path (about 6 kilometres there and back) indicated, you reach the beautiful monolith.
I took several photos but I tell you: the images do not do as well as the real thing.

Have you ever heard of this monument?

If you want to learn more about the history of the face, I invite you to go to this page: abbaziaborzone.it.

Here's where the face is:

Given the lack of systematic studies on the find, its dating is still the subject of various hypotheses. The first ones date it back to between the Upper Paleolithic (between 20,000 and 12,000 years ago) and the Neolithic (between 10,000 and 3,500 years ago), in the wake of anthropomorphic menhirs such as those of Carnac.

The splendid Borzone Abbey near Borzonasca

La splendida Abbazia di Borzone nel comune di Borzonasca

The splendid Borzone Abbey in the municipality of Borzonasca.
Immersed in the greenery of the hills and mountains that slowly reach important peaks, the splendid church dedicated to Saint Andrew the Apostle is a little gem.
I came here to walk the path that leads from the abbey to the Megalithic Face (an enormous and very mysterious rock on whose surface a human face has been carved) and, if you want, to the abandoned church of San Martino di Licciorno.

A historical-legendary peculiarity is that the abbey is located on the Sacred Line of Saint Michael, an imaginary straight connection between various monasteries in Europe.
