Finale Ligure Attractions

Beyond Noli the road goes through a tunnel (114m/376ft long) under Capo Noli and continues along the high overhanging cliffs of the Malpasso to (9km/5.5mi) Finale Ligure (3m/10ft; pop. 14,000), a prettily situated resort, with the Castelfranco (1342) above the town and the fine Baroque church of San Giovanni Battista. Near the station is an early Christian Capuchin church. 2km/1.5mi northwest is the walled village of Finalborgo, with a beautiful Romanesque-Baroque parish church. In the monastery of St Catherina (15th century) is an archeological museum containing material discovered locally. Still farther northwest in Perti is Castel Gavone with a fine keep. In the vicinity are limestone caves. Beyond Finale the road cuts across the Caprazoppa promontory.
