Santa Giulia di Centaura Church, Religious building in Santa Giulia, Italy.

Santa Giulia di Centaura Church is a religious building in the coastal town of Lavagna in Liguria. The structure features stone walls and displays typical architectural elements found in Italian places of worship, positioned on elevated ground above the town.

Santa Giulia di Centaura is documented as an existing chapel in 1031, so the original building predates that date. It was rebuilt in its present form in 1654. The parish lost the Immacolata Concezione of Cavi in 1797 and Santa Maria Assunta of Sorlana in 1909, and has been a prevostura since 1900.

The church keeps the relics of Saint Julia, brought here in 1724; she is the patron saint of Corsica, which can be seen from the church on clear days. A 14th-century wooden crucifix, possibly of Byzantine workmanship, is also preserved. The name of the saint gradually replaced the older name Centaura for the whole hamlet.

The church stands on piazza della Chiesa in the Santa Giulia di Centaura hamlet, within the parish of the Chiavari-Lavagna vicariate, Diocese of Chiavari. It is an active parish church, so visits should be planned around Mass and parish activities rather than fixed tourist hours.

The saint to whom the church is dedicated, Julia, is the patron of Corsica, and on clear days the island is visible from the church. The dedication appears already in the oldest documents, so it seems to be the original one.
