Gorgeous "terrace" hanging on the Historical center district, with fabolous view on the city and the port. Get there with the liberty style lift for an extra emotion.

The building we know today as Palazzo Reale is a large aristocratic residence which has been splendidly decorated and added to over the years, not only by the Savoy dynasty in the 19th Century but also by two great Genoese dynasties: the Balbis (who built it between 1643 and 1650) and the Durazzos (who enlarged it between the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th Century). The palace is probably the largest 17th/18th-century architectural complex in Genoa to have retained its original interiors, both in terms of fixed (frescoes and stuccoes) and movable (paintings, sculptures, furnishings and fittings) decoration. The vaults of the sitting rooms and galleries are decorated with frescoes by some of the most important Baroque and Rococo artists. There are over a hundred paintings displayed in the various rooms, among them works by the finest Genoese artists of the 17th Century, along with masterpieces by Bassano, Tintoretto, Luca Giordano, Anton Van Dyck, Ferdinand Voet and Guercino. The visit includes the magnificent atrium with its 18th-century stuccoes, the court of honour, the hanging garden, and the state apartment on the second floor with lavishly decorated ceremonial rooms such as the Throne Room, The Ballroom and the Hall of Mirrors. It is also possible to visit, by prior appointment, the apartment of the Crown Princes, also known as the apartment of the Duke of the Abruzzi, on the piano nobile of the palace, decorated by the Savoys: this remarkable example of a state apartment still retains the original 19th-century furnishings, fabrics and trimmings.

The Doge's Palace (Italian: Palazzo Ducale) is a historical building in Genoa, northern Italy. Once the home of the Doges of Genoa, it is now a museum and a centre for cultural events and arts exhibitions. It is situated in the heart of the city, with two different entrances and façades, the main one on Piazza Matteotti, and the second one on Piazza De Ferrari.
