San Siro is one of the oldest churches in the Italian city of Genoa. It was built in the 4th century in the center of the city, today's old town. It was first named after the Twelve Apostles, but when the canonized Bishop Syrus died, his name was given to it. San Siro was the cathedral of Genoa until the inauguration of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo.

In 1006 the church was handed over to the Benedictine order and was completely converted into an abbey church. After a fire in 1580, it was restored from 1585 to 1619. Except for the facade, which was created by Carlo Barabino in 1821, it has retained this appearance ever since.

The church contains works by Orazio Gentileschi and Carlo Bonone.

The Basilica of San Siro, one of the oldest churches in Genoa, Liguria, is a Catholic place of worship located in the street of the same name in the Maddalena district. Built according to tradition in the 4th century, it was originally dedicated to the twelve apostles; it was the burial place of the holy bishop Siro and it became the first cathedral of Genoa. The parish is part of the "Central West" vicariate of the Archdiocese of Genoa. The very rich interior decoration is among the most representative of the Genoese Baroque.
