Santo Stefano Church, Romanesque stone church in central Genoa, Italy.

Santo Stefano Church features a single nave with a raised presbytery and an octagonal dome reconstructed in brickwork during the 14th century.

The church was consecrated in 972 and served as a Benedictine abbey held by Columbanian monks from Bobbio until 1431 before becoming a parish.

The church includes a marble choir added in 1497 and contains architectural elements from various periods reflecting the evolution of Genoese religious buildings.

The church stands on a hill overlooking Via XX Settembre, making it a central reference point for visitors exploring Genoa's religious landmarks.

A crypt beneath the presbytery remains from an earlier 6th-century church dedicated to Saint Michael Archangel, representing the site's original core.
