The Abbey of Borzone It is a valuable sacred building consisting of a church and a bell tower, the ruins of a cloister, and the buildings of Case Araxi. The hypotheses on the origins of the Abbey get lost among history and legend: the inscription on a tower marble block dates back to 1244, but without a doubt the main body of the church dates back to the Longorbard period (7th century), and was built on a pre-existing building dating back to the Byzantine period (6th century). The abbey, situated in the Municipality of Borzonasca ( Genoa, Italy), is surrounded by minor settlements and placed in an enchanting position in the middle of a natural amphitheater, giving the visitors a sense of peacefulness.
