The Cloister of Santa Maria delle Vigne in Genoa
The cloister of Santa Maria delle Vigne in the historic center of Genoa.
In the center of the alleys of Genoa, a little hidden from the passage of less assiduous visitors, there is the beautiful basilica of Santa Maria delle Vigne, a splendid church above all.
To the side of the church there is the beautiful cloister, built around the year 1000, which overlooked the homes of the canons.

To see all the photos I took in the basilica, click here:
Built as a Romanesque basilica with three naves, it had a roof with exposed truss, a slightly protruding transept with an octagonal dome and three semicircular apses. Originally, the central nave was separated from the lateral ones by a series of eight columns on each side, above which ran a false matroneum composed of a row of three-light windows side by side.
