Construction began at 1110 and was completed in the 17th century. This church features a blend of architectural styles from different time periods. The impressive artwork includes paintings by various masters. I was in awe of the unique and impressive mix of styles.

The Cathedral of San Lorenzo in Genoa is a magnificent testament to both medieval and Renaissance architecture. Its grand facade and ornate interior, adorned with intricate frescoes and sculptures, are awe-inspiring. The cathedral's history, dating back to the 12th century, adds depth to its significance. Visiting San Lorenzo Cathedral offers a profound cultural and spiritual experience, reflecting Genoa's rich heritage and religious devotion.

What a beautiful church! We also climbed the tower for a wonderful bird’s eye view of the old town. So worth the effort to get up there. Highly recommended.

Genoa Cathedral suddenly appears as something of surprise if you approach it from the narrow, dark streets of the old city, looming impressively over the small piazza. Like so many Italian cathedrals, it is a striking building externally, but it is well worth exploring the fascinating interior too. It is initially quite gloomy, but once the eyes adjust there is a wealth of detail to appreciate, both in the architecture and the artwork, as well as the various chapels and ecclesiastical features.

The main Cathedral in the heart of Genoa. While the inside is not as intricate and highly decorated as the original Basilica, it is still a very impressive cathedral. The front is more highly decorated than the entry area and the organs are stunning. It's true beauty can be experienced from the outside where stone lions guard the elaborate stone columns that form the entrance. The use of different coloured stone to make the decoration is truly sublime. A very busy Cathedral, but highly recommended.
