Diocesan museum of Genoa, Religious art museum in San Lorenzo Cathedral complex, Genoa, Italy
The Diocesan Museum occupies the former residence of cathedral canons, featuring two levels of arches supported by Romanesque columns with detailed capitals.
Originally constructed between 1176 and 1184 on Roman foundations, the building underwent modifications in the 17th century when double columns were replaced with pilasters.
The collection presents regional religious artifacts, including sculptures, paintings, frescoes, and illuminated manuscripts that document the evolution of Genoese religious art.
Located at Via Tommaso Reggio 20, the museum opens Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
The underground section displays archaeological findings, including a 4th-century bone comb and Cardinal Luca Fieschi's funeral monument from 1336.
