San Siro, Baroque basilica in Maddalena district, Genoa, Italy
The basilica features a neoclassical facade, marble decorations, and several chapels adorned with frescoes depicting religious scenes and biblical stories.
Originally the cathedral of Genoa from the 10th to 12th centuries, the basilica transferred its title to San Lorenzo due to its vulnerable location outside city walls.
The central nave displays Giovanni Battista Carlone's frescoes portraying the Conversion of Saint Peter and religious narratives in the Counter-Reformation style.
The basilica opens daily for religious services, offering guided tours that explain the architectural elements and artistic masterworks within its walls.
A plaque on a nearby house marks the location where Saint Syrus reportedly banished a basilisk from a well, according to medieval tales.
