Santissima Annunziata di Portoria, 15th-century church in Portoria district, Genoa, Italy.

The Santissima Annunziata di Portoria features three naves supported by brick pillars and contains numerous Renaissance artworks within its interior chapels.

Founded in 1488, the church developed alongside the Ospedale di Pammatone, forming an important religious and medical complex in medieval Genoa.

The Renaissance double doorway, created by Antonio Piuma in 1521, displays intricate decorations including acanthus leaf capitals and an Annunciation bas-relief.

Located at Viale 4 novembre 5 in Genoa, visitors access the church through an 18th-century square followed by a short flight of stairs.

The church houses the mausoleum of St Catherine with her incorrupt body in an ornate bronze and crystal shrine created by Francesco Maria Schiaffino in 1738.
