The Museum of St. Agostino is the most important museum of sculpture and architecture in Liguria; surrounding the two magnificent cloisters, one of which has an unusually triangular shape, are the former monastery rooms, housing Genoese and Ligurian works from the early Middle Ages to the modern age.

Masterpieces of sculpture, canvases and frescoes by the major artists who worked in Genoa and the Ligurian area can be admired there, as well as precious exhibits of ceramics, majolica and cabinet-making. Not to be missed is the funerary monument, unfortunately not intact, to Margherita di Brabante, a 14th-century work by Giovanni Pisano.

Stunning is the characteristic bell tower covered in polychrome tiles, tirelessly shimmering in the sunlight.
