Nostra Signora della Consolazione e San Vincenzo martire
Nostra Signora della Consolazione e San Vincenzo martire, Baroque church in Genoa, Italy
Nostra Signora della Consolazione is a baroque church in Genoa with three interior naves and works by 17th-century local artists. Its structure follows classical baroque principles with high walls and multiple side chapels that divide the space and serve different devotional purposes.
Augustinian friars began construction in 1684 after their previous site conflicted with the city's defensive walls. The new location allowed them to continue their community work in central Genoa and establish a fresh place of worship.
The church houses paintings created by important Genoese artists from the 1600s, reflecting the city's artistic traditions of that era. These works remain central to the religious experience inside, visible to anyone who enters to pray or look around.
The church is easily reached from Via XX Settembre, one of Genoa's main streets, and is readily visible from the road. Visitors can enter and spend time inside examining the artworks and structure without needing special arrangements.
The monastery building next to the church became the Mercato Orientale market during the 1800s and continues operating as a market today. Visitors can move between the prayer space and the active marketplace, giving the area a dual character.
