November 18, 2023, marked a momentous occasion in the Italian Yatra with the official opening of the Goloka Ecofarm in the picturesque region of Liguria. Just 30 minutes from the Italian Riviera’s beautiful beaches, this ISKCON community stands as a sanctuary and a beacon of light, fully embracing Srila Prabhupada’s cherished mission of protecting cows and disseminating Krishna consciousness.
Nestled in the stunning natural beauty of Liguria, very close to Genoa and Savona, the property comprises 75 acres of land (both forest and pasturing fields) and a 1,000-square-meter building with seven apartments, offering great potential for future expansion.

A dozen devotees have tirelessly worked on renovating the property, which had been vacant for years.
