The Sant’Anna tunnels between Sestri and Lavagna
The Sant’Anna tunnels between Sestri Levante and Lavagna.
Driving along the coastal road between Sestri Levante and Lavagna, you pass through one of the most unique stretches of the Ligurian Riviera: the Sant’Anna tunnels. Here, the road runs between the mountain and the sea, creating a landscape that is both beautiful and fragile.
This photograph shows this specific section, where the tunnels allow cars to pass along a rocky slope known for landslides. On one side there is the unstable mountain, and on the other the sea, which, when rough, can make the road difficult to use and sometimes lead to temporary closures for safety reasons.
I was between Sestri Levante and Lavagna, in Liguria, Italy, along one of the most scenic roads in the area. This connection is essential for local traffic, but it also clearly represents the relationship between infrastructure and nature in Liguria, where space between the mountains and the sea is very limited.
Over time, the Sant’Anna tunnels have become a recognizable feature of this coastline. An interesting fact is that this area is often monitored due to weather conditions, as heavy rain and rough seas can quickly affect road safety.
Despite these challenges, the scenery remains stunning. Passing through these tunnels offers a short journey between rock and sea, with constant changes in light and perspective.
On the blog I have often shared places in Liguria where nature and human activity coexist in a delicate but fascinating balance. This is definitely one of those locations.
