Close to the Piazza delle Nazioni lie the church of San Stefano and the Oratorio dei Bianchi with its fine collection of Ligurian processional crosses.
Villa Tigullio can be found in the Parco Comunale and houses the library, once visited by Ernest Hemingway, as well as the Museo del Merletto (Tue, Wed 15.00 – 18.45, Thu 09.30 – 12.30). It is dedicated to the art of lace-making which is still very popular in the area.
