Cogoleto's sea front is dominated by the Parish Church of St. Maria Maggiore, that was erected in 1877 to celebrate the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. Its interiro cherishes a precious XVII-century altar piece and a splendid organ dating back to 1932. The Oratory of St. Lorenzo, that is situated a short distance from the parish church, is one of the oldest sacred buildings of the city. Its interior, that was finished in the XIII century, cherishes important sacred artworks, such as the precious painting depicting the Martyrdom of St. Lorenzo, that was realized by Giovanni Battista Carlone in the seventeenth century.
Walking down the streets of the ancient fishing village, tourists will have the possibility to admire sumptuous palaces and the so-called Tower- Houses, that were once used to defend the city against attacks from the Saracens. One of the city's oldest constructions is the eighteenth-century Parasco Tower, that still retains the so-called "gattoni", peculiar structures that were once used to support defensive panels.
The small hamlet of Sciarborasca, that makes the ideal base for undertaking exciting excursions across the Higher Footpath of Ligurian Mountains, is now home to the Museum of the Peasant Society, that is hosted inside an ancient rural house, as well as to the so-called Ecomuseum of Argentea Mountain Association, an educational path across ancient jobs and rural habits.
The lovers of nature won't miss the opportunity to visit Villa Beuca Botanical Garden, that develops along the western slopes of Beuca Hill. Situated 100 metres above sea level, it was realized in 2002 and cherishes endangered vegetal species and rare Mediterranean plants.
