Chiesa del Gesù e dei Santi Ambrogio e Andrea, Baroque church in Genoa, Italy
The church features a stone facade with intricate decorations, two bell towers, and a central dome rising above the main nave.
The Jesuits commissioned architect Giuseppe Valeriano to build this church in 1589, replacing the ancient Sant'Ambrogio structure from 569.
The interior contains paintings by Rubens, including The Circumcision on the main altar, and Guido Reni's Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
The church opens daily from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with regular masses at 10:00 AM, noon, and 6:30 PM.
The church holds a baroque nativity scene by Tommaso Orsolino beneath the altar of the second chapel, displaying Genoese sculptural techniques.
