Chiostro di S.Andrea
Vico Dritto Ponticello, Via Dante, Genoa, ItalyThe remains of an important Benedictine convent dating back to the twelfth century can be found near the Dove house. They are only separated from the car traffic by a few olive trees. The remains were moved to this site after the convent was demolished in 1904 and they have recently been restored. They represent the most interesting medieval cloister of the city. There are coupled columns with elegant capitals which have been sculpted with very rich iconographic motifs. They contain stories from the bible (Adam and Eve, the three kings), work scenes, animals, imaginary creatures and more simple floral designs. There is a memorial stone which states that when the demolition was underway, they found an ancient Roman necropolis. Admission: Free.
