The presence on the territory of the Romans is evidenced, among other things, by a mosaic floor of the third century, now preserved in Palazzo Doria. On the hill of S. Damiano, where the earliest traces of the earliest human presence on the territory were found, you can visit the church dedicated to SS. Cosma and Damiano (1070).
Loano has a historical centre amongst the best preserved in the region, with great public works made by the noble Doria family: Palazzo Doria, now the Town Hall, Palazzo del Comandante, the surrounding wall and the church of N.S. della Misericordia, now the convent of Augustinian Brothers, which is an art gallery of valuable pieces from the 1500s.
In a side street that connects the old town to the seafront you can observe the Passorino arch, built in the times of Giovanni Andrea I Doria which is one of the four doors that open in the city walls and closes the main road on the Western side. In 1774 a tower was added, decorated with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy and a clock, which is why it is known as the Clock Tower.
