The chapel was erected in 1451-1465. The chapel got its name in honor of the patron saint of Genoa, John the Baptist. Today there is a sarcophagus of the 13th century, in which the relics of the saint, found in 1098 during the crusades, rest. / p> We also recommend reading Church of Santa Agostino in Italy, Genoa resort Topic: Chapel of St. John the Baptist in Italy, Genoa resort. |
