The dome of the Santuario della Guardia in Genoa

La cupola del Santuario della Guardia alle spalle di Genova

The dome of the Santuario della Guardia behind Genoa.
Some time ago I went for a nice visit to the Santuario della Guardia, just behind Genoa.
The church has a simple and not very ostentatious appearance but on the vault and in the dome the decorations are still very beautiful and in front the coat of arms of Genoa stands out.

The rose window of the church of the Santuario della Guardia

The rose window of the church of the Santuario della Guardia.
I like the rose windows of the churches to photograph. This is the central rose window of the church of the Santissima Madonna della Guardia, the sanctuary most loved by the Genoese.

The facade of the Sanctuary of NS della Guardia

La facciata del Santuario di Nostra Signora della Guardia sopra Genova

The facade of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Guard above Genoa.
The Sanctuary of the Guard has always been one of the places of worship most loved by the Genoese.
Despite being so important, its simplicity is surprising, both externally and internally. In fact, you will not find impressive gold and frescoes or statues and lace.
You go to the Guard to pray or to give thanks, not to be impressed by aesthetics!

The votive shrine of Vico San Pietro della Porta in Genoa

L'Edicola di Vico San Pietro della Porta a Genova

The Newsstand in Vico San Pietro della Porta in Genoa.
There are many newsstands (which are not only small shops that sell newspapers but also small structures that house sacred images or statues) in the alleys of Genoa.
Every time I walk, armed with a camera, in the historic center I immortalize one that I had probably never seen before.
This is in a beautiful corner of Vico San Pietro, a few steps from Piazza Banchi.

The Guardia Sanctuary photographed from Forte Diamante

Il Santuario della Guardia fotografato dal Forte Diamante

The Santuario della Guardia photographed from Forte Diamante.
Some time ago I took the path that leads to Forte Diamante and from there, waiting to make a real visit, I immortalized the Santuario della Guardia which was right on the mountain in front.
Majestic and dominating all of Genoa, the Genoese faithful have been asking for help to it for centuries.
