Points forts
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.

Internal visit
The richest palace in the city's history. From the government building to the seat of the most prestigious financial institution of the Republic of Genoa.
Financial center for over 7 centuries, a must-see place during a visit to Genoa.
Few know that the First Crusade was preached in this church, when the building was still in Romanesque style and dedicated to the 12 Apostles!
A "New Road" of the sixteenth century, almost a private quarter for a small elite of Genoese merchant-bankers who had their sumptuous palaces built here, praised by Rubens and other intellectuals passing through Genoa.
The nerve centre of Genoa, between the historic and the new city. Bordered by important buildings witnessing the main economic activities 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).
