In the heart of Genoa lies Piazza della Nunziata, one of the city’s most elegant and historically rich squares.
The square takes its name from the majestic Basilica della Santissima Annunziata del Vastato, a masterpiece of Genoese Baroque adorned with frescoes, marbles, and intricate decorations that reflect the grandeur of the Republic of Genoa.
For centuries, Piazza della Nunziata has served as a vital crossroads between the historic center, the Old Port, and the roads leading to Valpolcevera, where merchants, travellers, and pilgrims once passed through on their way to the city’s heart.
Today, the square remains a vibrant hub, bustling with residents, students, and tourists who come to admire one of Genoa’s most evocative historic views.
A must-visit for anyone seeking the authentic soul of Genoa—where art, history, and tradition converge.
