San Gerolamo di Quarto, Gothic church in Quarto district, Genoa, Italy.

The church features an external cloister with Gothic architectural elements and stands as a religious landmark in the Quarto dei Mille neighborhood.

Spanish Hieronymite monks established the church in 1383 after fleeing persecution during the Western Schism, purchasing the land for 1,100 Genoese lire.

The Olivetan monks transformed the original apse into a grand sancta sanctorum in 1492, marking a significant phase in the building's religious development.

The church maintains regular religious services and functions as a parish church within the Archdiocese of Genoa's Quarto vicariate.

The church contains ancient Spinola family tombstones from 1507, belonging to Antonio, Andrea, and Francesco Spinola, representing centuries of noble patronage.
