Genoa is the largest seaport in Italy and ships are an important part of the city’s heritage
The famous explorer Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa
The historical centre of Genoa is made up of hundreds of narrow alleys called Caruggi
Prostitutes in doorways waiting for their next client
Genoa was also a city of cafes
The main square
The remains of the cloisters of San Andrea
The triumphal arch “Arco dei Caduti”
King Vittorio Emmanuele II
Cathedral of San Lorenzo
The black and white striped exterior was decorated with spiral columns, statues and marble inlay patterns
Near the top of the hill overlooking Genoa was the Casa Cambi D’Aste with battlements, crenelated walls and towers
Mosaic frescoes on the facade of the building
Beautiful palazzos along Via Balbi and Via Garibaldi
