Levanto is an interesting town to stay in. We were in the modern part, but it has medieval as well as 17th & 18th century buildings.
Medieval castle
Loggia and Restani House House – both 13th-century
Sant’Andrea (Church of Saint Andrew) 13th century Ligurian Gothic style black and white bands, and a magnificent rose window
Piazza Cavour – The former monastery now accommodates the tourist office, town hall, library and other municipal offices
There are lots of painted houses in the old centre
Chapel of San Giacomo 17th century, and the Church of Santa Maria della Costa
We could see this from our balcony
