Sacred Genoa: A Pilgrimage Through Churches, Palaces, and Heritage

Genoa, Liguria, Italia

This walk moves through Genoa’s historic core like a story unfolding in narrow corridors and sudden open squares.

You’ll encounter spaces that feel intimate and enclosed, then moments that open outward—revealing how Genoa’s character is built on what it chooses to hide and what it decides to display.
