Parish Church of San Bartolomeo

The parish church dedicated to San Bartolomeo stands at the heart of Zuccarello's old village. Its Romanesque campanile is the oldest surviving structure in the town — the bell tower predates the church's later Baroque interior additions — and is one of the few Romanesque towers preserved this far into the Ligurian hinterland.

The church interior is modest but worth a look for its carved wooden choir stalls and a polyptych attributed to a 15th-century Ligurian workshop. The square in front of the church, shaded by a fig tree, is the social center of village life and a good place to sit for a few minutes and feel the pace of a place where very little has changed in a very long time.
