Unravel the history of this basilica gem of Genoese architecture and more, on this guided walking tour.
Improve your knowledge whilst hearing about the planning for the only church in Genoa built during the Renaissance. Plus, witness how its position on the hill of Carignano makes it one of the most recognizable landmarks and the most spectacular panoramic viewpoint of the city.
Marvel at the majestic dome supported by imposing pillars and be impressed by the Baroque sculptures of French artist Pierre Puget. A one-of-a-kind layout of passageways that run through the basilica at roof level will be something further for you to explore too.
From the top of the dome you will be able to retrace the evolution of the urban fabric of the city and admire a beautiful view over Genoa. By the end, you'll have had a truly extraordinary experience stretching from the Lanterna (the lighthouse), to the Old Port, and from the hinterland up to the point of Portofino.
