Santa Marta, Catholic church in Genoa, Italy
Santa Marta displays white marble and black slate stripes on its facade, divided into three sectors by columns with Lombard bands and a central rose window.
Founded in 1125 by Martino Doria as a private chapel, the church underwent Gothic renovations in 1278 and additional modifications by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli in the mid-16th century.
The interior contains significant artworks including Luca Cambiaso's 'Miracle of the Ethiopian Dragon' and Giovanni Battista Castello's 'Vocation of St. Matthew'.
The church preserves its original organ from 1773 by Antonio Alari and maintains regular religious services within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Genoa.
Under the high altar rests a sword believed to be Andrea Doria's, presented as a gift from Pope Paul III to the church.
