San Siro di Struppa, Romanesque church in Struppa, Genoa, Italy.

The sandstone church features a central rose window, triple-mullioned windows in the bell tower, and Lombard bands along the upper walls.

The church, first documented in 955, received Benedictine management in 1025 under Bishop Landulf I of Genoa's administration.

The interior displays a significant polyptych from 1516 depicting St. Syrus, created by Pier Francesco Sacchi for religious ceremonies.

The church structure contains a central nave with two side aisles, separated by stone columns that support the 32-meter bell tower.

A medieval bas-relief near the church depicts the legend of Bishop Syrus banishing a basilisk from the surrounding territory.
