Corniglia's parish church sits halfway along Via Fieschi, the lane that runs the length of the village. It was built in 1334 in the late Ligurian Gothic style and given a baroque overhaul in the 18th century, but the simple black-and-white striped façade and the elegant rose window above the portal still belong to the original Genoese building.
Inside, the single nave is darker and plainer than the exterior suggests. Look for the polyptych on the right wall, attributed to a follower of Antonio da Tradate, and the carved wooden crucifix above the altar. The church is usually open in the morning and late afternoon and forms a natural focal point for a walk through the village.
