A very nice place to visit when in Genoa. Note there is a strict dress code, no short pants and shoulders may not be exposed. But if you follow the dress code is is worth a visit.

One is immediately greeted by the huge Lion sculptures that watch and guard both sides of the main entrance. I looked with awe at the amazing stone carving that is layered around the door portals. The talent and creativity of the artisans that produced this work of art is impressive. Once inside, the huge vaulted ceilings, gold gilted moldings, paintings, and sculptures make a very memorable impression on every visitor. I also took notice of the large and beautiful rosette window high above the front door. I'm glad I had a chance to discover this cathedral during my visit.

Really impressive architecture masterpiece. One of the most beautiful churches in Italy. It's not far from the train station, so it is for sure worth a quick visit. Beautiful stone mosaic outside. Definitely worth seeing. The tower tour thought is a joke. You will have an opportunity to see the inside of the church but you not gonna get to the top of the tower and there is no view outside.

Absolutely stunning! This church is quite incredible. I strongly suggest to pay the 5euros and walk up the tower! The view from there is simply unbelievable.

The cathedral is a true landmark in the middle of an active city. Inside, it is a place of worship which is well decorated and well designed. Outside, it is simply elegant with is structure and contrasting masonry. To an American, any building which is over a thousand years old is amazing - that it is still standing and that it is as nice as it is. This building was old when Christopher Columbus lived in Genova. Most likely, I stood in some places he stood and saw much the same thing he saw, centuries ago. If you can climb steps, be sure to climb the tower and cross over the roof line to an observation deck for a comfortable and commanding view. This is a must see in Genova.
