523.-Genova-Palacio-Ducal

 

Genoa has a lot to offer: sea, mild climate, art and culture. A tour of the beauties to visit to discover it thoroughly and love it.

Genoa has a lot, if not everything. The sea, first of all. But also a strong identity, an urban development of its own, many faces and many worlds. Defined as “the superb” by Petrarch, who saw it as the lady of the sea leaning towards the waters, Zena (another nickname) has to offer a mild climate all year round, perfect for visiting and enjoying its architectural and artistic beauties. Between a focaccia dipped in cappuccino for breakfast and a plate of trofie with pesto, the 10 essential stops to get to know it in depth and fall in love with it.

The Doge's Palace is one of the most symbolic historical sites in the city of Genoa: residence of the Doge since 1339, today it is the main center of cultural production in the city. The most beautiful and important art exhibitions are exhibited here and festivals and festivals are held throughout the year. The construction of the Palace began in 1298, at a fortunate moment in the history of the Republic, the moment when Genoa was consolidating as an economic power in the Mediterranean Sea, displacing the other so-called maritime republics.
