Genoa

Genoa combines the energy of a working port with the intimacy of a dense historic centre in a way that reflects its position between the Ligurian Sea and the Apennines. The waterfront has long shaped the city’s identity as one of Italy’s major maritime centres, while the old town rises behind the harbour in a web of narrow caruggi lanes. On Via Garibaldi, the UNESCO-listed Strade Nuove and Palazzi dei Rolli preserve palaces built by Genoese noble families in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Porto Antico was redesigned by Genoa-born architect Renzo Piano for the 1992 Columbus celebrations. Browse other webcams across Liguria to place Genoa in a wider geographic context.
