Palazzo Doria Tursi, Renaissance palace and municipal museum in Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, Genoa, Italy
The building features pink stone from Finale, gray-black slate, and white Carrara marble across its three-story structure with two gardens framing the central body.
Commissioned by banker Niccolo Grimaldi in 1565, architects Domenico and Giovanni Ponzello designed the palace, which later became property of Giovanni Andrea Doria in 1597.
The palace exhibits the Guarneri del Gesu violin from 1743, belonging to virtuoso Niccolo Paganini, alongside collections of ancient coins, ceramics, and historical artifacts.
Visitors can access the museum through Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, with guided tours available throughout the three connected palaces that form the Musei di Strada Nuova.
The building combines its role as Genoa's city hall since 1848 with museum spaces displaying significant art collections and historical municipal treasures.
