San Francesco d'Albaro Church, Baroque parish church in Albaro district, Genoa, Italy

San Francesco d'Albaro Church stands on via Albaro in Genoa, at the crossing of the old road between San Martino and the sea. Rebuilt from 1476, it has three naves and a Latin-cross plan; only the outer portal survives of the Gothic structure. Inside, Giuseppe Galeotti frescoed the transept, apse and choir in 1754, and Giovanni Battista Carlone painted Saint Francis in Glory on the central nave vault.

Construction started in 1476 during a period when the Albaro area transformed from rural vineyards into a residential destination for Genoese nobility. The building reflects this shift in the neighborhood's character during the Renaissance.

The parish title of Santi Nazario e Celso was transferred here by Pope Paul III's bull of 20 June 1544, after the old cliffside church of San Nazaro, known since the 10th century, fell into ruin from storms. The friars kept the name, and the church is still run by the Conventual Franciscans.

The church is located in a residential area with cafes and shops nearby and can be visited throughout the week. Visitors should expect that access may occasionally be limited due to services or private events taking place inside.

The organ was built in 1857 by the Rasori brothers of Bologna for that city's Conventual Franciscan church; in 1891 the Bolognese friars, finding it too small for their liturgy, sold it to San Francesco d'Albaro, where it replaced an 18th-century instrument. It was enlarged to fit and last modified in 1969 by the Inzoli firm of Crema.
