Not to be missed during the hike
- The Church of Saint-Côme and Saint-Damien: dating from^{the 17th} century, this church is located on a ridge below the hamlet of Bracolacce. Inside, you can admire a beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary and penitents.
- The Convent of Marianda: in 1606, during the papacy of Pope Paul V, the legal foundation of the Franciscan convent of Marianda was established. Work continued until 1671, then resumed from 1702 to 1750. The convent was built thanks to donations and bequests from the inhabitants of Farinole, Patrimonio and Barbaggio. The walls of the convent, now in ruins, still bear witness to its majesty and its location in the magnificent panorama.
- The Genoese tower of Farinole: from the panoramic part of the trail, don't miss the Genoese tower of Farinole, located below, at the level of the village marina. A listed historical monument, it was built in 1562 and remained in use until the end of the 17th century. Now owned by the municipality of Farinole, it is the last Genoese tower still standing in the Grand Site.
