Palaces via Garibaldi

Image 7 of 15

You may expect a street arranged in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as a decoration for the richest and most powerful families in Genoa to be a great boulevard, but via Garibaldi is a little more than an alley.It seems even narrower, because it is surrounded by both sides by the great facades of the palaces next to each other.Its facades present a succession of carved and painted ornaments, frescoes, great arches and loggias, balconies, courtyards and coastal entrances of the noble families whose houses were.You can visit three of these - Palazzo Rosso, Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Tursi - with a single ticket to see their gorgeous arts and collections.
