| | Chiesa di San Siro di Struppa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | A San Siro, che fu vescovo di Genova nel IV secolo, è dedicata una statua lignea scolpita nel 1640 e il famoso polittico cinquecentesco, forse opera di Pier Francesco Sacchi. |
 | | From the written documents, there is news of the church of San Siro already from 1025 but the church, as it is today, dates back to the X century, as has been demonstrated by the analysis of the architectonic structure. |
 | | Like many other Romanesque churches it was aligned, between the 17th and 18th centuries, with the new Baroque style of architecture: the vaults were remade, the walls painted white and stuccoed, the apsidal area was restructured and conversion work was carried out extemally with the addition of the vestry. |
