The interior of the Church of San Pietro in Banchi in Genoa

L'interno della Chiesa di San Pietro in Banchi a Genova

The interior of the Church of San Pietro in Banchi in Genoa.
I have passed through Piazza Banchi several times and have already photographed the church from the outside several times (and if I am not mistaken there are at least two posts with the church and the square).
The last time I passed by the door and the gate were open and, for the first time, I managed to enter and I was impressed by this little church, small but very well-kept and with a truly predominant white color in the interior.
As you can see in the altar, in the apse and in the ceiling.

If you want to see all the photos I took in the church click here:

The church of San Pietro in Banchi in its current structure dates back to the end of the sixteenth century, when it was built, starting from a project from 1572, on the site where centuries before there had already been a religious building, destroyed at the end of the fourteenth century during the factional struggles between the Guelphs and Ghibellines.

In the background the church of San Pietro in Banchi and on the left the Loggia delle Mercanzie. In the middle of the square the old dehors with used newspapers and books.

Inizio dei Vicoli di Genova

Inizio dei Vicoli di Genova

Inizio dei Vicoli di Genova.
Uno dei tanti accessi ai vicoli di Genova è in piazza Caricamento e porta verso piazza Banchi.
Sulla destra il retro di palazzo San Giorgio sulla sinistra inizia il porticato con l’insegna di una delle friggitorie ancora rimaste nel centro storico e sullo sfondo, quasi non si vede, la Loggia dei Banchi.
Spero la foto vi piaccia, a me tantissimo!
