Nostra Signora della Guardia, Religious shrine in Varazze, Italy.
The sanctuary stands at 405 meters above sea level on Monte Grosso, featuring a single-nave church with a barrel vault and bell tower.
The church was commissioned in 1864 by Marquises Fabio Ivrea and Maria Teresa d'Agliano to serve as their family burial site.
The sanctuary receives numerous visitors during the annual celebration on August 29, when local residents gather with the property owners.
Visitors can reach the sanctuary through a private 3-kilometer pedestrian path from Varazze, winding through pine forests and natural landscapes.
Cardinal Giacomo Della Chiesa, who later became Pope Benedict XV, visited this sanctuary at the end of the 19th century.
