Sant'Apollinare Church

Sant'Apollinare Church, Roman Catholic church in Sori, Italy.

Sant'Apollinare Church is a Roman Catholic church located in the coastal town of Sori on the Ligurian coast. The building features a bell tower and stone façade that are integral parts of the village's architecture and street scene.

First documented on 23 July 1195, the church is the only one in the Archdiocese of Genoa dedicated to Saint Apollinare. Tradition attributes its construction to a vow by Apollinare Cavassa around the 13th century. A notarial deed of 30 August 1310 records its incorporation into the parish of Sori under priest Gaialdo; Simone Fieschi served as chaplain from 1400 to 1401 before becoming bishop of Caffa in Crimea.

The church is the only one in the Archdiocese of Genoa dedicated to Saint Apollinare, and tradition links its founding to a vow by a local man named Apollinare Cavassa. Its parish status shifted repeatedly: autonomous in the early 1200s, joined to Santa Margherita di Sori, then detached again by the late 14th century.

The church stands in the hamlet of Sant'Apollinare, a frazione of the comune of Sori in the metropolitan city of Genoa, not in Sori's own centre. The bell tower was rebuilt in 1854 and again in 1885 after lightning struck it on 14 October of that year, so look for the tower as the landmark identifying the hamlet.

The bell tower was rebuilt in 1854 and again in 1885 after a lightning strike on 14 October of that year caused it to give way. The church is the only one in the entire Archdiocese of Genoa dedicated to Saint Apollinare.
