The portico of the cloister of San Matteo in Genoa
The portico of the cloister of San Matteo in Genoa.
Whenever I am in Genoa with a friend who has never visited the city I always take him to see this beautiful little church, a stone's throw from Piazza De Ferrari, very spectacular.
In addition to the church, in particular, there is the splendid cloister (pictured here) which can be visited for free on the days it is open to the public.
There is also a nice official website: parrocchiasanmatteo.org.
Have you ever visited this church and especially its cloister?

Here is where the abbey is located:
Martino Doria, who entered the Benedictine friars of the Abbey of San Fruttuoso di Capodimonte after becoming a widower, obtained permission from Bishop Sigifredo to build a small church on land owned by the family near the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. The dedication of the new church to San Matteo was linked to his profession as a tax collector, just like the Dorias, who therefore made him their patron.
