The town of Genoa, the capital of Liguria in northern Italy, used to be an extremely busy trading post and a Mecca for artists. The prosperity of its trade activities enabled affluent families to build up admirable art collections, including the most beautiful Flemish and Italian works of the 16th and 17th centuries. In addition to its magnificent residences, the town is home to an impressive number of religious buildings constructed over the centuries and which bear testament to the town's history and influence.
The itinerary suggested here is aimed at some of the Romanesque, gothic and baroque churches, which are worth noting due to their architectural aspect and the fact that they often house precious paintings and sculptures from the Renaissance and the baroque age.
