The splendid Piazza San Matteo in Genoa

The splendid Piazza San Matteo in Genoa.
In the centre of Genoa, a few dozen metres from Piazza De Ferrari, there is this beautiful square which, with its buildings and especially the abbey, is in my opinion one of the most beautiful in all of Genoa.
In fact, in addition to the Abbey of San Matteo, there are the Palazzo Lamba Doria, the Palazzo Gnecco Quartara (behind in the photo) and the Palazzo Domenicaccio Doria (on the left) and Branca Doria (in the centre between the church and the previous building).

There is also a nice official website: parrocchiasanmatteo.org.

Here's where the square 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.

I took a lot of photos around the city of Genoa and you can find almost all of them here or by searching in the various articles specific to the Ligurian city.
If you want to find some ideas to learn more about the Superba I refer you to the website of the Municipality's Tourism: visitgenoa.it. This is the institutional website of the Municipality: smart.comune.genova.it.
If you are looking for a nice portal that talks about all of Liguria I invite you to visit the official website of the Region: lamialiguria.it.
If you need a good paper guide of the city I invite you to consult these publications: Genova e il Tigullio, Genova. Una guida or Guida indipendente alla città di Genova.
If you are passionate about mysteries and legends then I suggest you read these two books: Alla scoperta dei segreti perduti di Genova and Genova misteriosa.

E’ meravigliosa, basta che non mettano più i tavolini da bar sul sagrato.

Bella sì ma preferisco altre piazze ma ognuno ha i suoi luoghi che gli ricordano anche tante cose avvenire e magari si affeziona anche per quello…
