Santuario di Nostra Signora della Guardia

The Santuario di Nostra Signora della Guardia stands on Turchini Hill with a Greek cross layout and Levanto red marble flooring throughout the structure.

The sanctuary construction began in 1847 but faced political interruptions until its completion in 1861 through the combined efforts of local communities.

Three altars grace the interior, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Marriage of Virgin Mary, and the main altar housing a wooden statue.

The sanctuary celebrates its main festival on August 29th and visitors can reach it at Via Valrossara 63 in Gavi, province of Alessandria.

The wooden statue inside dates from 1746, commissioned by Giacomo Bertelli during an Austro-Sardinian siege as a vow for protecting his house from flames.
