Facts and practical information

The church of Santa Maria in Passione was a religious building in the historic center of Genoa, located in the square of the same name on Castello Hill in the Molo district. Closed in the 19th century due to the laws of suppression of religious orders enacted by the Savoyan government, the complex including the church was first turned into barracks and finally became the headquarters of the O.N.M.I. before being almost completely destroyed during World War II.

Since October 5, 2014, La Libera Collina di Castello, a new Urban Cultural Park at the archaeological site of Santa Maria in Passione, has been open to the public.

A cultural space, meeting place and self-education: where students, residents and people working in the world of crafts, culture and art can develop their work and share it with the city.
