San Matteo, Baroque church in Laigueglia, Italy
The Church of San Matteo features two bell towers topped with majolica domes and displays multiple works from the Genoese school of the 17th century.
The construction of San Matteo in 1807 required over half a million Genoa Lire and received support from local sailors and fishermen who provided labor and materials.
The church houses numerous artworks, including the Assumption by Bernardo Strozzi and the Pentecost by Castle Castellino, representing the Ligurian artistic heritage.
Visitors can find San Matteo at Piazza San Matteo 1 in Laigueglia, where they can examine the ten chapels with Corinthian-style pilasters throughout the interior.
The crosses on the bell towers align with the prevailing sea winds, reflecting the maritime connection of the local community.
