8 Historic Sites in Sottoripa That You Shouldn't Miss
Wandering the narrow caruggi alleyways of Genoa is a bit like solving a medieval labyrinth. In the heart of the Italian port city lies Piazza de Ferrari, a main square with a beautiful fountain and a perimeter lined with historic buildings, including the Palace of the Doges the Teatro Carlo Felice, which was destroyed during WWII and subsequently rebuilt. The seaside neighborhood of Boccadasse is vision of pink and yellow buildings that brighten up this lovely fishing village.

Absolutely stunning! Definitely worth visiting even though it's not as easy to find as other palaces because it's not on Via Garibaldi but rather further in the Old Town. I would highly recommend spending time wondering around old narrow streets to get to this Palazzo as it's one of the oldest ones (the oldest?) in Genova. The interiors and the artwork are breath taking. This might be the only place in the world where you can see paintings by van Dyck and Rybens without queuing. They organize guided tours every half an hour, the male guide we had was amazing and spoke good English. The entrance fee is lower than in other Palazzos and gives you a discount to visit Museo di Palazzo Reale for just 3 EUR. If you ever come to visit Genova, this is a must-see!!!

It's a beautiful building with colourful frescos at the port. (My favourite one is St. George fighting with the dragon). The building became the Bank of Genoa in 1407, so it's the oldest bank-building in Europe. Unfortunatelly there's an ugly concret motorway nearby, but try not to notice it. Just look at the palace!
