On Italy's Ligurian coast, Rapallo is full of many splendid sights from the 16th and 17th centuries. Main attractions include the Castello sul Mare (Castle-on-the-Sea), the bell tower and dome of the basilica San Gervasio e Protasio, the sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Montallegro, the church of St. Francis de Assisi, and Porta delle Saline, the only gate that remains of the city's ancient walls.
