7 Churches & Cathedrals in Sottoripa That You Shouldn't Miss
Wandering the narrow caruggi alleyways of Genoa is a bit like solving a medieval labyrinth. In the heart of the Italian port city lies Piazza de Ferrari, a main square with a beautiful fountain and a perimeter lined with historic buildings, including the Palace of the Doges the Teatro Carlo Felice, which was destroyed during WWII and subsequently rebuilt. The seaside neighborhood of Boccadasse is vision of pink and yellow buildings that brighten up this lovely fishing village.

As I was making my way from my nearby hotel to Palazzo Real, I stumbled upon this church. As I ascended a narrow alley this striking church presented itself. At the door was Giuseppe, a volunteer guide who is affiliated with the church (and others in the area) who welcomed me inside. He discussed various paintings, construction methods (ie: it took 45 years to complete this church), families affiliated with the church during its early years, its restoration post WWII (be sure to see the tall wooden ladders once used to restore areas near the ceiling), etc. The guild work, stone masonry and the art (paintings, frescoes, sculptures, woodwork) is truly spectacular.

This Church is rather simple outside but when you enter you's got a pleasant surprise. It's stunning. I think it's one of the most beautiful church in Genoa. My favourite part is the ceiling with the beautiful paintings. There's a mirror on the floor, so you can take good photos.
