While the Byzantine style of architecture is common is many cathedrals of Italy, what is striking about this one is an array of marvelous paintings that the cathedral flaunts with great ardor. With unique design and construction the surprising are the Corkscrew pillars that alternate with round and the usual pinkish hues of the stone sometime seem deep and then light and then look like ochre; depending on the position of the sun.

Also interesting is the large bomb of world war 2 which hit the cathedral but never exploded! Also, visit the popular attractions in the city by following Genoa itinerary 1 day.
