Highlights

A catchy title to stimulate curiosity about a city that is often the victim of many clichés used by those who do not know it. Then come after me if you want to meet the authentic millenary history of Genoa as witnessed by what was saved from the destructive action of the pickaxe and bulldozers in recent decades. Two similar words "Crusades" and "Cruises" to indicate the beginning of written history and the present day of Genoa. We leave from the port, thinking of cruise passengers, to meet the middle age with the complex of the Knights of Malta, the Church where the First Crusade was preached to which a small expedition of Genoese captained by William Embriaco the hero who built the war machines that obtained the drinking of Jerusalem joined.

About Genoa

Genoa, the great port of the Ligurian coast, is a city of steep medieval alleys, grand palaces and an old harbour once ruled by merchant families.

Genoa curves around a deep natural harbour with mountains close behind, so its streets climb steeply. It was a maritime republic in the Middle Ages, and the merchant families built palaces along Via Garibaldi and the Strade Nuove, now listed by UNESCO as the Rolli palaces. The cathedral of San Lorenzo has a striped black-and-white façade, and the Lanterna, an old stone lighthouse, marks the western end of the port.

Top-ranked sights in Genoa: Genoa Cathedral (Cattedrale di San Lorenzo), Piazza de Ferrari, Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale).
