Twenty kilometers of walls around which various fortifications have been built. Getting to know these forts is not easy, they are not very promoted and it is not easy to find someone to take you there. In this wonderful trek of about 15 km, the tourist will have the opportunity, accompanied by a professional guide, to delve into the history of Genoa and to discover these fortifications that still stand on the hills of the city.

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).
