Chiostro di Sant'Andrea, Medieval ruins at Porta Soprana, Genova, Italy
The cloister features stone arches and columns arranged around a central courtyard, displaying architectural elements from the 12th century Benedictine monastery.
Built in the early 11th century, the monastery housed nuns from prominent Genoese families until its closure in 1799 during the Napoleonic period.
The carved capitals present scenes from biblical narratives, agricultural activities, and medieval chivalric tales, reflecting both religious and secular medieval art.
The cloister opens Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 18:00 and weekends from 10:00 to 19:00, with direct access near Columbus House.
The structure remains the sole preserved element of the Sant'Andrea monastery, relocated to its current position in 1922 after the original complex demolition.
