This cathedral is just a stone throw away from the porto antico. It is a very nice and peaceful church, perfect for adults and children. My children were fascinated by the unexploded bomb inside the cathedral. Outised the loved to sit on the lions and were enthralled by the statue of the saint being burned alive on "a barbecue"

The building from outside is quite impressive, unfortunately it isn't open at all times. We got to take a peek during mass and the bishop was heading the service. It was a treat!

Three Naves make up this Cathedral, beautiful windows and the mark of time is shown in the various stages of its creation; Roman, Gothic, Renaissance.

It is a 381mm caliber, shot on feb... More

I have reviewed this church twice before in some detail, because I think it’s one of several beautiful churches in Genova, but its museum is really my favorite church museum in the city. Thus I’m pleased to let readers know the great news for visitors to the lovely San Lorenzo church museum; they have improved and rewritten their English language... More
