Santi Quirico e Giulitta (Genoa)

Santi Quirico e Giulitta refers to a former church and religious complex located in Genoa, Italy. The complex comprised a church dedicated to Saints Quiricus and Julietta (Santi Quirico e Giulitta), a mother and son martyred in Tarsus during the Roman persecutions.

Historically, the church was situated in the Molo district of Genoa. While the exact origins of the church are debated, it is believed to have existed since the early Middle Ages. Over the centuries, it underwent several reconstructions and modifications.

The church played a role in the religious life of the Molo district and was associated with various confraternities and charitable activities. It was a significant landmark in the area, holding religious services and serving as a place of pilgrimage and devotion.

The former church is no longer standing. It was demolished in the late 19th century as part of urban renewal projects that dramatically changed the face of Genoa. Information on the church's architectural features, artwork, and internal decorations is limited due to its destruction and the scarcity of surviving documentation. The memory of Santi Quirico e Giulitta persists primarily through historical records, maps, and local historical accounts of Genoa.
