About Genoa Cathedral
Genoa Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in Genoa, Italy, dedicated to Saint Lawrence. Its other name is the Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Lawrence, and the Archbishop of Genoa has his seat there. Pope Gelasius II consecrated it in 1118. Construction ran from the twelfth to the fourteenth century, giving a basically medieval building to which some later additions were made.
The secondary naves and the side covers are Romanesque, while the main facade is Gothic. The capitals and columns that have interior corridors go back to the early fourteenth century, while the sixteenth century brought the bell tower and the dome. After a fire in 1296, the building was in part restored and in part rebuilt. In 1550 the city magistrates commissioned the architect Galeazzo Alessi to plan a reconstruction of the whole building, but he carried out only the dome, the apse, the pavement and a covering for the nave and aisles. Restoration of the dome and the medieval parts took place in 1894–1900.
On February 9, 1941, during the shelling of the city known as Operation Grog, the British battleship HMS Malaya after a crew error sent a 381 mm (15.0 in) armor-piercing shell into the cathedral, where it struck the nave at its south-eastern corner. The shell struck relatively soft material, which did not trigger its fuse, and an inscription in the cathedral gives thanks for the escape.
