Palazzo San Giorgio, Gothic palace near the port in Genoa, Italy.
The palace features two distinct architectural sections: a medieval part with red bricks and stone base, and a Renaissance section with painted decorative plaster.
Built between 1257 and 1260 under Guglielmo Boccanegra's commission, the palace initially served as the municipality seat before becoming a customs operations center.
The building's sea-facing facade displays frescoes of notable figures from Genoese maritime history, including Christopher Columbus and Admiral Benedetto Zaccaria.
The Port System Authority headquarters offers guided tours through reservation at Via della Mercanzia 2, with multiple contact numbers for visitor assistance.
The palace walls contain the room where Marco Polo reportedly dictated his travel accounts while imprisoned in Genoa during 1298.
