Wonderfully calm place - amazing frescoes; donations for candles vary. Very peaceful. Decoration very ornate.

You can't go wrong here. Beautiful. On the left side when facing the altar there is a beautiful Chapel. But it takes one euro to turn on the lights.
Awesome church with fantastic frescos and decor was very, very wonderful! The interior was very decorative and had many precious items found in larger churches.
With so many churches and cathedrals packed in the alleyways of the city, it's hard to visit them all. But this is one you shouldn't miss, especially if you're location scouting for your wedding in Italy.
Genova has no shortage of stunning churches to visit, including the tourist’s favorites San Lorenzo, Chiesa del Gesu and San Siro, but try not to miss the beautiful Romanesque Santa Maria di Castello built in the 12th century, with it’s cloisters, small spectacular museum, frescos, rectory and small garden; it’s full of treasures! Unfortunately, it can be a bit difficult...

I think it is always worth one's time to visit churches when staying in Italian towns/cities and, Genova has many treasures to share! This Basilicata is quite sober compared to other local religious monuments. I would suggest finding out about opening hours though because it stays closed quite often.
Beautiful work done to the basilica after the war. Impressive statues in the chapels
