Santa Maria di Nazareth in Sestri Levante.
The white church, as I remember I always called it as a boy, stands right in the narrowest part of land between the two famous bays of Sestri Levante.
Its unmistakable gabled façade with four imposing columns, the clock in the tympanum and its twin bell towers.

Where is the Basilica located:
The presence of a small chapel dedicated to Saint Mary of Nazareth was attested as early as 1368, but it was during 1604 that, following the transfer of a plot of land by the local nobleman Bernardo Bolasco, work was undertaken to build a new place of worship.
