Chiesa millenaria, Romanesque church in Ruta, Camogli, Italy.
The stone church stands at 300 meters above sea level, featuring a central apse and exposed stone walls characteristic of medieval construction methods.
Built in the 13th century, the structure received its first documented mention in 1192 and remained the sole church of the village until 1627.
The church transitions from its original dedication to Saint Michael the Archangel to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, reflecting changes in local religious practices.
Visitors can reach the church through Via XXV Aprile in Ruta, where a path continues toward Monte Esoli and the sanctuary of Madonna di Caravaggio.
The structure underwent major renovations in 1905, which included the addition of a sacristy and replacement of the original floor containing historical tomb slabs.
