This 16th century church is probably the one Romanesque Genoese church, which has been well maintained. It has preserved its three shallow apses, the tower similar to that at Chiesa di S.Donato, and the black and white columns. To the side of the portal made from Roman materials, on the façade, is a tomb with a pointed arch and small columns called the Barisone, in memory of the famous man who was a spy in the war between Genoa and Pisa. When his treachery was found out, he was arrested and put under house arrest in the palace adjacent to the church, where he later died. The sepulchre for Barbers and surgeons is particularly interesting.
