Basilica di Santa Maria delle Vigne (Basilica of St. Mary of the Vineyards), Genoa
The basilica of Santa Maria delle Vigne (originally: Sancta Maria in Vineis) is one of the oldest Catholic churches in Genoa. Historical documents attest to its presence since the 10th century, although it is more plausible to say that it was built in an even older sacred building dating back to the 6th century. Elements of original Romanesque architecture are still present, even in walls and under floors, although the only part left intact in the process of reconstruction appears to be the place between the perimeter walls of the church and the cloister.
