San Fruttuoso di Camogli seen from very high up.
Some time ago I had the opportunity to walk the path that goes from Santa Margherita Ligure to Monte di Portofino, passes through San Fruttuoso and then ends in Portofino.
A decidedly long and challenging path but which offers truly incredible views of the coast.
Like these shots that highlight the Andrea Doria Tower that emerges from among the olive trees.

Where is San Fruttuoso located:
The tower, named after Andrea Doria by his heirs, Giovanni, Andrea and Pagano, was erected in August 1562 along the road that connects the abbey to the fishing village on a steep staircase. It was built in compliance with the patronage clause granted by Pope Julius III to Andrea Doria in 1551 to defend the village and its providential water source, used by the monks, from possible incursions by Barbary pirates.
