The Shrine of Nostra Signora della Guardia is a Roman Catholic place of pilgrimage on the summit of Monte Figogna, 804 metres above sea level, in the municipality of Ceranesi, about 20 kilometres from Genoa in northwest Italy. Described as the most important Marian shrine in Liguria, it takes its name, meaning "Our Lady of the Watch," from the mountain's medieval role as an observation post over the Valpolcevera and the sea approaches to Genoa. On clear days the view extends over the Polcevera valley and the Ligurian Riviera.
