I seem to recall there are only two Sistine Chapels in the world. One is in Rome and another one is in Savona. The word Sistine implies that the chapel was erected by Pope Sixtus IV who was born in Savona and wanted a mausoleum for his parents. The Savonese Cappella Sistina can be found behind the cathedral. It has been renovated in the Rococo style with ornate decorations, golden curlicues and a ceiling painted by Paolo Geralamo Brusco (don’t expect Michelangelo). Visitors also marvel over the carved wooden choir seats and the elegant cloister garden.

Consigliata agli appasionati di arte e architettura, è la riproduzione in scala minore della Cappela Sistina a Roma.

La piccola cappella sistina, un gioiello di Savona, potrete visitarlo soltanto durante il fine settimana nei seguenti orari: 10h -12h oppure dalle 16h - 18h nata come cappella funeraria dei genitori di Papa Sisto IV (lo stesso che fecce fare la cappella sistina in Vaticano) e successivamente arricchita con decorazioni e ornamenti
