"Got to appreciate its history & struggles, oozing from the walls."

A tiny church for a tiny fishing village with a tiny harbor with a lot of rich people and big yachts. The Romanesque style church of San Giorgio was built in Portofino in 1154 and restored again in 1691, 1760 and 1950.

Although it is nothing special in regards to architecture, you've got to appreciate its history and struggles, oozing from every crack in the walls. And there is also a nice view on one of its sides.

On a site note, Portofino is difficult to navigate with its million steps, up and down those hills, so keep that in mind whenever you hear the words "nice view"!
