The historic center of Genoa is one of the largest medieval centers of Europe. For many centuries the capital of Liguria “Proud Genoa” was a commercial and political center of the country. This is a charming city with many historical monuments located in a beautiful area. Once founded by the sea around Porto Antico (Old Port), the city could grow only in the direction of the mainland. A maze of narrow medieval streets (caruggi), small squares and cramped stairs hide a thousand-year history of the city. There are numerous palaces (to which Genoa owes its name of “City of Palaces”) that served as the residence for the noble and influential Genoese families. 42 palaces were included in UNESCO World Heritage List in 2006. There are numerous well-preserved churches of different periods that represent a unique artistic heritage in Genoa. This city is a sense of admiration, amazement and affection for those who seek in the depth knowledge.
