San Fruttuoso Abbey is a Benedictine abbey in a small bay on the Portofino promontory, reached only by boat or on foot. Most of its buildings date from the 10th to the 13th century; it holds the tombs of the Doria family, and the Torre Doria watchtower was added in 1562. The FAI has owned and restored it since 1983.

The Church of San Giorgio stands on a headland above Portofino, reached by a path from the harbour square. First recorded in 1154 and rebuilt in 1691 and 1760, it was destroyed by a bomb in the Second World War and rebuilt in 1950 on its 18th-century plan. It keeps relics of Saint George, the village's patron saint.

Castello Brown is a fortress above the harbour of Portofino, built by the Republic of Genoa on a site fortified since Roman times and enlarged in the 16th century. In 1867 the British consul Montague Yeats Brown bought it and made it a villa; the municipality has owned it since 1961. Visitors see its rooms, garden and terraces over the bay.
