★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was quite difficult to find this place. It was quite some climb especially difficult with the stroller. A monumental complex consisting of a church with 5 cloisters: three Renaissance of 1400, one medieval and one Romanesque both of the eleventh century. Cloisters are free. From the outside the complex of Santa Maria di Castello gives nothing away. Squeezed in between buildings constructed next to it over the centuries you would never imagine how large or complex this is.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Even though the façade might make it look not interesting, it is one of the most beautiful churches of Genova. It contains several frescos from the 15th and 16th century and volunteers can tell the history of the church and guide you through other interesting parts of it, including three beautiful cloisters with marvellous decorations.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This this church is tucked away and hidden amongst residential buildings just up from the old port. It has a very unassuming outside. However once you step inside you will be blown away by the architecture and the numerous paintings. Every alcove has numerous paintings sculptures from famous painters and sculptors. It has one of the workers of the church inside the building that is happy to tell you a little of the history. Well worth a trip to see.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An amazing church which has an amazing amount of things to see. Ask the volunteers inside to show you around. It might be they don't speak English, but it's worth to see even without the explanation.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This hidden Romanesque church complex is well worth a visit, especially for the guided tour offered by volunteers, which you will probably receive PRIVATELY due to the small number of visitors. It was formerly administered by the Dominicans. There are cloisters and numerous pieces of intact medieval art, including a beautiful Annunciation fresco from 1451, which the Grimaldi family had a key role in sponsoring.
