Genoa

Territory of Genova:

Chief town of all of Liguria, Genova has been officialy a big city since January 1 2015, it is about 224 sqkms and extends mostly along the coast surrounded by hills and mountains.

The port is still very much a part of the wealth of Genova where merchant ships and cruise ships dock and are kept under watch by the famous Lanterna (Beacon). Going up the river Stura we can see that the municipality of Genova goes past the Apennines bordering with lower Piedemont.

The coastal area of the city extends to Vesima and Capolungo di Nervia.

Along the hill crest you can see the city walls erected in the 17th century which join on Mount Peralto where Fort Sperone rises.

The two main streams of the city are the Bisagno and the Polcevera and they divide it into five main areas; the City Centre, the Valpocevera, the Valbisagno, the Ponente (west) and the Levante(east).
