Via Garibaldi (see pp72–3) was laid out in
the 1550s as a residential quarter for the
chief aristocratic families of Genoa.
Celebrated for centuries by travellers, its
impressive architecture has remained
remarkably well preserved.

San Lorenzo (see pp56–7)
is Genoa’s cathedral, built
from the 11th to the 13th
centuries in Romanesque-
Gothic style. There is fine
sculpture both inside
and out, and the chapels
Le Strade Nuove of Lercari and San
(see pp70–83)
Giovanni Battista are
of special interest.

Palazzo Ducale (see p58) was
the principal seat of the doge
of Genoa, and was enlarged to
majestic dimensions in the 16th
century. Today, the spacious palazzo
is used for major exhibitions.
