More information on Chiesa di S.M. di Castello
The church was first built around 650 AD in the early fortified area of the city. It was rebuilt by Pre Lamica masters at the beginning of the 12th century. Since 1441, when it was taken over by the Dominican fathers, it has undergone regular redecoration. The Predicatori brothers, who also organised the construction of the adjacent Convento di S.M. di Castello, made the complex into one of the most important centres of humanist thought. The church has three naves lined with granite columns with reused Roman headbands. It has valuable vaults, decorated with 15th-century decorations which replace the original medieval trusses. It has numerous frescoes, paintings, altarpieces, sculptures and wooden groups. There are noteworthy canvasses by D.Piola, B.Castello, A.Lomi; a venerable medieval wooden Christ figure and the remains of the holy Jacopo da Varagine (Varazze), who was the author of the Golden legend. The marble entrance of the Sacristry was built in 1452. This graceful room has been made even more precious by the 18th-century walnut furnishings. The museum area in the convent is reached from here.
