Santa Maria di Castello
this church was first built in 658AD. Since the early 15th century the church hosts the domenican order and many tresures. Built in the 11th century, it was also known as the summer cathedral of Genoa. It also hosts an interesting and free musuem and is located next to the apartment of Santa Maria di Castello, which was originally hosting the priests of the church.

Let's go for a virtual tour of some 14 churches of the old town.
