Basilica di San Biagio anchors Finalborgo, the walled inland quarter of Finale Ligure. From outside it reads as a historic parish church, but the interior carries the real surprise: baroque decoration, marble work, and a theatrical richness that fits the old town's proud, compact character.
It is an easy stop while wandering Finalborgo's lanes, especially if you are using Finale only as a climbing or beach base. Step inside for a few minutes and the town's older religious and civic confidence becomes much easier to see.
