Church of Saint George of the Genoese, Renaissance church near La Cala harbor, Palermo, Italy
The church features three naves divided by Carrara marble columns, with an octagonal dome crowning the intersection of the Latin cross plan.
The Genoese merchants commissioned architect Giorgio Di Faccio to build this church between 1576 and 1596, replacing the former San Luca church.
The floor contains 64 burial stones of Genoese noble families, including one belonging to Nicola Colombo, a descendant of Christopher Columbus.
The church opens every Thursday from 4 PM to 7 PM between November and April, and from 5 PM to 8 PM between May and October.
The lateral chapels display artworks from renowned painters including Luca Giordano, Jacopo Palma the Younger, and Domenico Fiasella.
