The church of Sant’AntoniNo was built at the top of a steep hill in the inland of Finale, positioned between the Perti and Aquila valleys and is surrounded by high cliffs, where the byzantine castle was built in order to protect Finale from the Lombard invasion with its walls and towers between the 6^th and 7^th century.

The small church, dated to the 11^th century, is a beautiful example of romanic architecture, with walls built with small Finale stone square blocks that came from a quarry close by in proximity of the Arma del Sambuco, on the western side of Bric Scimarco.

The building has a single hall that ends with a semi-circular apse with narrow single lancet windows positioned on two floors. On the left side a door opened with an arch with square blocks, currently the door is blocked.

The romanic crypt was built in the part of the apse; to access the crypt there is a narrow staircase on the left side of the nave. The crypt inside presents walls divided by semi-columns that support hanging arches and a niche destined for the priest that officiated Mass.

In this fascinating environment there is a natural karst tunnel, where according to an ancient tradition it was the seat of an oracle, to whom the local population turned to.

The church suffered severe damage during the earthquake that hit western Liguria on the 23^rd of February 1887. As a painted inscription reminds us, a few years after, the facade was rebuilt in the simple form of a rural chapel while the inside of the church was plastered and painted according to the taste of the time.
