Eremo del Deserto, Baroque hermitage and shrine in Varazze, Italy.
The Eremo del Deserto stands on a hill, featuring a church building with religious quarters and seven small chapels called Romitori within its grounds.
The Discalced Carmelite Order established this religious complex in 1616, and it received national heritage status from the Italian government in 1933.
The hermitage maintains Catholic traditions through the Roman Rite liturgical practices and serves the local religious community within the Diocese of Savona-Noli.
Visitors can reach the hermitage at Piazza del Convento 19 in Varazze and explore the 2.5-kilometer botanical path surrounding the complex.
The grounds contain seven individual chapels where monks historically spent time in solitude, surrounded by Mediterranean flora and mountain forest trees.
