Santa Chiara Monastery, Medieval monastery in central Genoa, Italy
The Santa Chiara Monastery stands with octagonal columns and traditional architectural elements characteristic of fourteenth-century religious buildings in northern Italy.
The monastery construction started in 1299, during a period when Genoa established itself as a maritime republic and center of Mediterranean trade.
The monastery functions as both a religious center and hospitality house, managed by Friars Minor who maintain Catholic traditions through daily services.
Located within walking distance of San Martino Hospital, the monastery offers accommodation in single, double, or triple rooms with provided sheets and cleaning services.
The facility includes a communal kitchen with modern appliances while preserving its medieval structure, serving as a refuge for hospital patients' relatives.
