Cassinelle Abbey, Medieval ruins in Sestri Ponente, Italy
The religious complex contains remnants of a single-nave church, residential structures, and a surveillance tower at 378 meters above sea level.
The abbey originated in 1189 when Prior Raimondo requested permission to build a religious structure, later hosting Santa Croce di Mortara canons.
The underground crypt features 32 burial niches and includes a marble tomb belonging to the noble Grimaldi family from 1332.
The site remains accessible through hiking trails starting from Borzoli, following via Rivassa and continuing through via del Priano to reach the ruins.
The name Cassinelle stems from the Ligurian word cascinélle, denoting small farmhouses that dotted the surrounding agricultural landscape.
