Santa Croce e San Camillo de Lellis, Baroque church in Portoria district, Genoa, Italy.
Santa Croce e San Camillo de Lellis is a baroque church with a Greek cross layout and an octagonal dome at its center. The structure features a rectangular bell tower and classical Doric columns that define its architectural character.
Construction of this church began in 1667 under architect Carlo Mutone, with the facade completed in 1682. The building suffered damage during World War II and underwent major restoration work afterward.
The interior displays religious frescoes painted by Gregorio De Ferrari and his son Lorenzo that tell stories of faith. These artworks remain central to how visitors experience the sacred space within the church walls.
The church sits on Piazzetta San Camillo in central Genoa and remains an active place of worship. Visitors can reach it on foot from the city center and explore the interior during opening hours.
This building underwent substantial restoration in the 1950s following bomb damage from World War II. Additional renovation work carried out in the early 2000s preserved the baroque qualities of the structure for future generations.
