The cathedral is attractive both internally and externally. The striped design on the outside gives it a unique and distinctive appearance and the inside is very ornate. It is worth a visit.
So glad the bomb did not explode and destroy this cathedral (but go and see the shell still inside the cathedral!). We benefitted from the guide who showed us the layer upon layer of history of the place, and how the succeeding eras built upon the previous foundations. A place of peace and a link to the history of the trade and the wealth of the times. Add this to Istanbul and Venice, and you get a picture of the links of these places. Lovely.
Huge CathedralMixing of building styles. Beautiful interior, Ceiling with Arab motifs, Walls and internal supports in Black and White.Very niceYou can enter from the side with a wheelchair
Another big church, a bit over decorated, impressive how it is build, and of course worth a visit, but do not expect something really special. The church has the grandeur of a Cathedral as it should be besides that, 13 in a dozen.
You have to go there,if you have enough time.Genoa is great city ! You should stay for more than one day as we.
The outside is stunning. Unfortunately on the day we visited there was a mass about to start so we only got a brief look inside but what we did see was beautiful.
This place is almost dizzying it's so unique. The effect of the black and white marble, plus intricate designs , left me spellbound. I would give it 6 out of 5 stars for the impact it had on me.
Very nice Cathedral. For those who are devoted to St Lawrence, there is a little chapel inside where you can find the bones of St Lawrence that been carried to this Cathedral by the Templars.
Totally amazed at the architecture and carvings of this building and I suppose the whole of Genoa. This was a very special building in a wonderful city
It is a very impressive cathedral - inside and outside. We have not gone to the tesaurum, but cathedral itself offers a lot to see.
